[dnsdist] dnsdist performance

2017-04-03 Thread Nico
Hi! We found dnsdist very useful and interesting and using it in a couple of configurations. Now we are testing dnsdist to find the best tuning for our setup, and we find the performance is not what we expected (based on what we saw in presentations) We can't get more than 120/150 kqps We don't th

Hi, thanks for you fast reply, but i think that setMaxUDPOutstanding relates to queries pending from backend servers to dnsdist. My tests are almost all serviced from cache. On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 4:42 PM, Aleš Rygl wrote: > > > We can't get more than 120/150 kqps > > We don't think it's netwo

on our config. Now we just tried to run 3 instances of dnsdist, with almost the same config and 6 listeners each, and we obtained 360/380 kqps, that's a linear increment. I'm happy to share my results, what else I can send you? Thanks! On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 5:00 PM, bert hube

[dnsdist] Cache, chrome and dns tunneling

Just to share the experience. We have 2 dnsdist (1.1.0) running for a mobile user base with 100kqps each more or less. We have a bunch of resolvers (unbound and pdns resolver). And cache, because mobile users only ask for google, facebook and twitter :-) cache = newPacketCache(100, 86400, 0,

[dnsdist] NoneAction()

Hi all! Quick question. We were willing to use NoneAction() to keep counters of queries to certain domain, but it doesn't work. And after a quick look at the sources it's not present (except in the docs). We checked on version 3 and 1.1.0. It was removed? There is any other rule we can use to ju

I need some help, if posible, to understand some strange situation. Unfortunately we can give a method to reproduce it, but we have some hard data. We have a couple of dnsdist servers. Half 1.1.0 and half 1.3.2, moving from old to new. The 1.1.0 are still getting most of the traffic and the proble

[dnsdist] not cached long TXT queries.

Hi, small question, to check what we may be missing. We have a big traffic increment from dnsdist to clients and backend-servers (5 times to clients, an 20 times from backends). The reason we found is a lot of TXT queries for c9-11.com which results in almost 4k size answer. Besides this being s

s the answer, right? I'd say this is the expected behaviour: as you said, it doesn't make a lot of sense to cache answers with cookies, as they are not really likely to be repeated a lot.
