FreeBSD for intel(r) Xeon(r) Processor X5560

[Debarshi Chakravarti]

Hi,
I am interested in having a production grade BIND9 implementation on FreeBSD. 
My hardware is as below

Intel(r) Xeon(r) Processor X5560

I learned from the site that FreeBSD for ia64 is still in TIER2. Can you please 
advise me on the below.


1.  When it will be moved to TIER1.

2.  If I go ahead with the current release what is the risk?

Please note this implementation would be mission critical.


Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Debarshi Chakravarti

For Intel Xeon, I think you want the amd64 branch. ia64 would be for
Ithanium.

Bests,

We run 20+ large dns caches at work running on freebsd 8 (64bit) one dell
2950 with no major problems.

The CPUs are Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU5140  @ 2.33GHz and have 4gb
ram, so you should be fine.

Just make sure that you limit the size of the caches. I generally leave
about 512 MB for the base os and let the cache use the rest. BIND will only
use 4GB max though (32bit internal memory addressing), although that might
be per cache.

If you use views you might want to look at the attach cache feature, to
boost cache efficiency.
