Bad performance from BIND 9.10 on RHEL 6.5

[amir at localhost.my]

Shawn,

Same with us here. We tested using bind 9.9.5 the recursive queries can reach 10,000 qps and when using 9.10-P1/9.10 .. we only can burst at 3,000 QPS..

Have you find any solution to share with us?


Thanks

amir

Both of the numbers were obtained with 16 UDP listeners and 24 workers on identical Sandybridge hardware with 24 CPU threads and 24G RAM. Default 12 UDP listeners setting with 9.10 is even worse; hence, 16 UDP listeners are used for apple-to-apple comparison.
