Multiple CPUs not working

I don't see what's so hard about:

./configure --enable-threads
make

Doesn't matter what product you use but the platform you deploy will need to
be sized to be able to cope with the number of zones loaded, RR set size and
anticipated number of recursive/non-recursive queries to be serviced. A
couple of zones + hint and a 486 will do the job fine :)
 
Actually on that note anyone got any performance stats (eg. BIND v TDNS v
MSDNS, uni/multi-proc etc.)?

Ok sounds like its not worth it than.  Right if binds load is such U need
both
cpus it may be time to get another dns server.

Or maybe migrate to TinyDNS :)

Opps I said the "T" word hehe
