Unbound

Hello dears,

Before all Merry Christmas for all over you.

So, I’ve been looking for some documentation or tools where i’ll be able to perform some test in an unbound dns server in order to realize/figure out how many connections my server could hold and with the results to be able project a better machine and affinity needs to get a better perfomance in this server.

I do appreciate yours comments.

Tks

Hello dears,

Hi,

Before all Merry Christmas for all over you.

You're welcome - best to all from me, too... :wink:

So, I've been looking for some documentation or tools where i'll be able
to perform some test in an unbound dns server in order to realize/figure
out how many connections my server could hold and with the results to be
able project a better machine and affinity needs to get a better
perfomance in this server.

I do appreciate yours comments.

Perhaps there is something in
https://www.unbound.net/documentation/howto_statistics.html you can
start with? "Unbound has an option to enable extended statistics
collection...."

I'm not so good in programming, but I saw this: perhaps someone who is
more skilled could get a grip on this?

Other sources could be:
https://linux.die.net/man/1/dnsperf
https://github.com/jedisct1/dnsblast

HTH,
Matthias

Hi, Matthias.

It will help me to get my goals and I appreciate your comments.

So, i’d like to know if you have some docs about dnsperf and dnsblast explain how to run this kind of test with more precision.

Hi,

So, i'd like to know if you have some docs about dnsperf and dnsblast
explain how to run this kind of test with more precision.

I'm sorry, but these two tools were just the result of a quick search -
I'm not so skilled in programming (or dns-testing) that I could be of
much help.

If you need some serious test suite, take a closer look at the unbound
website. We started to use 'unbound' a few weeks ago (with
IPfire-routers), so the experience with this is too fresh...

Best,
Matthias
