Re: [Pdns-users] pdns recursor - unthreaded vs threaded operation

2012-01-02 Thread Fabio Sangiovanni
Hi Bert,

are you planning to run multiple Lua sessions per thread in the future (in 
PowerDNS Recursor)?
If yes, do you think it will be possible to have a switch for this feature in 
recursor.conf?
I need to make a decision for my company about the use of PowerDNS Recursor in 
a project and everything depends on the possibility of having one single lua 
session per thread.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Cheers,
Fabio

 For now, and for this version of the PowerDNS Recursor, if you set threads
 to 1, you will really only get 1 simultaneous Lua session.
 
 However, this is not true in other parts of PowerDNS. In the authoritative
 server if you set 'distributor-threads=1' you might still get several
 parallel database connections. 
 
 If you are going to do synchronous SQL updates from Lua, do realize that these
 typically cost up to a millisecond including latency.
 
 This means that your Resolver will peak at 1000 qps.
 
 how deep is the impact on performances changing the number of threads from
 2 (default setting) to just 1?  are there other sensible settings that I
 could adjust to better suit my needs?
 
 You might want to look at other ways of doing statistics if you truly want
 high performance.
 
 PowerDNS right now does not offer a good interface for very rapid query
 logging, but perhaps you could use a textfile from Lua.
 
 Good luck!
 
   Bert

[Pdns-users] PowerDNS part of major DNSSEC deployment in Sweden

2012-01-02 Thread bert hubert
Hi everybody,

We are very proud to be able to report that PowerDNS is now powering over
165000 DNSSEC zones in Sweden.

The official press release is here:
http://www.binero.se/omoss/pressinformation/binero-secures-one-in-ten-swedish-domains-against-phishing
(and yes, the title is not quite correct).

Binero of Sweden, together with Atomia, have signed more than 10% of all
Swedish domain names using PowerDNS, which also means that 97+% of all
Swedish DNSSEC domains (with a DS in .se) are now powered by PowerDNS!

More technical details can be found at:
https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2012-January/007934.html

The impressive graphs reflecting this process can be found on:
https://www.iis.se/en/domaner/statistik/tillvaxt?chart=per-type (scroll down
to 'DNSSEC signed domains')

In the course of the migration Atomia and Binero have fixed or found several
PowerDNS bugs, and we are grateful for their trust in PowerDNS and the
contributions they have made.

This giant deployment means that PowerDNSSEC is now truly ready for prime
time. The bugs that have been found however mean that other large
deployments might want to wait for the upcoming 3.1 release, or use snapshot
20111215.2321 (available from http://powerdnssec.org).

For more information about this migration, or of you want to know more about
how to attempt large scale DNSSEC operations, please feel free to contact us
on powerdns.supp...@netherlabs.nl and we will be glad to help!

Kind regards,

Bert Hubert
