Hi all, i like to make test to try new product, so i did some tests WITHOUT any goal to demonstate which software is better. i want compare Bind9 vs Unbound in cache-only deploy (i use it for speedup antispam server). My server is: quad core Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz 4Gb Ram LSI Logic 1020/1030 Ultra320 SCSI Adapter Debian Etch 30Mb full internet access (!) i setup only one forwarder (dns of biggest ISP in italy) and i used dnsperf (the same used by ISC), i tried only 1000 queries to avoid to be considered an attacker. These are results of three tests (mean): unbound Queries per second: 215.951160 qps bind Queries per second: 181.861585 qps in this case unbound is 20% faster. Now, i want to make a different tests with more 'sense', Can we discuss a battery of test and a 'modus operandi' ? in particoular which dns server must be used to obtain 'good' results (to avoid to be a bottleneck)? Thanks, Mauro Rappa
