Hi,
we (Men & Mice) have published an article on how to select between
different "flavors" of unbound compilation.
The article can be found at
http://otrs.menandmice.com/otrs/public.pl?Action=PublicFAQ&CategoryID=21&ItemID=47
Summary:
The unbound caching DNS Server can be optimized for various different
workloads. While most performance optimizations can be done at runtime
using the configuration file or the unbound-control tool, some more
basic decisions that influence the performance are done during the
compile-time of the unbound binaries.This article will explain the technical differences of the possible
"flavors" of unbound and will give proposals under which type of DNS
workload a specific flavor will perform best.
The article will be kept updated when new versions of unbound are released.
Any feedback and corrections are welcome.
