Does anyone know if there are any benchmarks out in the public, which<br>
could give some insight into how well BIND 9 scales with multithreading?<br>
I've tried looking on this list, and googling, but haven't found anything<br>
yet.<br>
<br>
To be a bit more specific - I'm not sure what a good option for server<br>
hardware would be for a recursive DNS server. On one hand, the Sun (ok,<br>
Oracle) Niagara/Coolthreads architecture seems to work nicely enough, but<br>
maybe I'd be better off with some generic Intel/AMD based solution with<br>
fewer threads/cores but higher GHz per thread?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>i did some test and Niagara (T1000 / T5240) performs badly (response time and rate) compared to Intel/AMD</div><div><br></div><div>some numbers at 75% cpu</div>
