Please keep replying to the mailing-list instead of replying to me
directly, as your answers might help others. I have not included your
message because I'm not sure what you expected to share publicly, but we
only do non-public support for customers [1].
Would you consider sending metrics to our public metronome server [2]
so we understand what's the limiting factor during your tests? You only
need to add a line like this one to your dnsdist configuration:
carbonServer("37.252.122.50:2003",
"put-the-name-you-want-to-display-here", 5)
This will only send some metrics without any private information and is
very useful to understand where the bottleneck may be.
