Casey,<br><br>Lots of good questions :).<br>Many zones on the servers. Just comparing total query count for all domains for which they are auth servers. <br>They are almost identical in every way although I can see a slight possibility that ns2 has a bit slower network connection. <br>Yup, the names of the servers are as similar as suggested here. And both nameservers have glue records.<br>Thanks for the feedback!<br><br>Marty<br><br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2013 12:06:36 -0800<br>Subject: Re: question about dns query distribution<br>From: casey@deccio.net<br>To: sun-guru@live.com<br>CC: bind-users@lists.isc.org<br><br>On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 11:32 AM, M.

<br>Recently noticed that for 2 nameservers <a href="http://ns1.tbd.com" target="_blank">ns1.tbd.com</a> and <a href="http://ns2.tbd.com" target="_blank">ns2.tbd.com</a> (names are changed to protect the innocent) the first nameserver consistently receives twice as many queries as the 2nd nameserver. <br>
Who can tell me why queries are distributed this way? <br></div></div></blockquote><div dir="ltr"><br>I assume you are comparing queries for names within the same zone on both servers? If so, do either (or both) of the name servers have glue? Are the names of the servers as similar as you suggest (e.g., within the same domain), or are they different? How different are the servers in terms of their network connectivity (i.e., to compare response time)?<br>
