I've tested both the auto-calculated values (one thread per available core) and
explicitly overridden this. NUMA boundaries seem to be where things get wonky.

I'm testing to flood, so approximately 5 x 400 client count (dnsperf) with a
500 query backlog per test instance.
Theoretically this should mean up to 4k5 active or back-logged connections (or
just 2k5 if I read that documentation wrong).

This is a very closed environment. Server-Switch-Server, all 10Git or 25Gbit.
Verified the switch stats today, capable of 10x what I'm pushing through it
currently.
> - is Bind the only running process on the tested server?
As always, there's the rest of the OS helper stuff, but BIND is the only thing
actively doing anything (beyond the monitoring I'm doing). So no, nothing else
is drawing massive amounts of either CPU or network resources.

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v4 @ 2.20GHz
2 of them.

I was manually issuing taskset after confirming the CPU allocations:
taskset 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39,41,43,46,47
/usr/sbin/named -u named -n 24 -f
This is all of the cores (including HT) on the 2nd socket. There wwas almost no
performance difference between 12 (just the actual cores, no HT's) and 24 (with
the HT's).

See above.
