What version of BIND did you have on RHEL5? Does your RHEL6 named get any better if you try ‘-U #’ (where # is half or less your cpu count)? _S On Nov 21, 2013, at 7:35 AM, Phil Mayers p.may...@imperial.ac.uk wrote: On 21/11/13 14:57, - wrote: Are others seeing the named process run at

What about the information from top? When comparing RHEL5 and RHEL6 systems, I would compare the total CPU usage of the server (out of 100% not 2400% or 1600%). Since the hardware is different, comparing a 16 named threads on a 16 core box at ???MHz against a 24 core box with 24 named

RHEL 6 CPU load

We recently upgraded one of our DNS servers to RHEL 6. The other two servers are running RHEL 5. The new system is showing much higher CPU load than the other two (RHEL 5 machines sit around 11-15%). I am not sure if this is related to the OS versions or something else. The build procedure for the

Daniel, what do you see the load as? I see 4.6% CPU usage (100% possible - 95.4% idle). I'm not sure which versions of BIND you were using on RHEL5, but the newer versions do tend to use more CPU usage (I'll assume due to new features, patches, etc in the BIND code). --Blake - wrote the

Depending on your OS and Bind settings, Bind may be performing IPv6/ queries in parallel to IPv4/A queries. If IPv6 is disabled on your RHEL5 server I suspect they may only be performing IPv4/A queries during recursion. You might check if this is, at least in part, responsible for the
