[Pdns-dev] PowerDNS performance

[jerry.du]

 Hi guys,

I installed an  authoritative PDNS server. Server configure 4 x Xero 3.4
CPU, 4G memory. I used 16 mysql bankend threads. But only get around 40K qps
every time with queryperf.

During load testing, The CPU utilization is only around 25%, looks very
light. Do anybody know how to improve the performance? Or, 40K qps is the
maximum performance of PDNS?
