Same here, and while it performs nicely, two things kept cropping up: * In rare cases, cache entries never expired and were kept around forever, meaning that it kept responding with the old data way after TTL expiry. It was pretty much impossible to debug, and ended up being a dealbreaker, unfortunately. * Upon start/restart, the load of new requests to a clean cache would cause it to somehow fail a lot of queries (queue full?) and return SERVFAIL. This response would be cached for quite a while (60s?), and cause it to serve SERVFAIL to even the most popular queries like facebook, google and youtube. It can be resolved with a slowstart mechanism in the loadbalancer, though. As for performance itself, have you observed any significant and/or reproducible differences between PowerDNS and Unbound? sven _______________________________________________ Unbound-users mailing list Unbound-users@unbound.net http://unbound.nlnetlabs.nl/mailman/listinfo/unbound-users
