[Pdns-users] new & improved snapshot of the pdns recursor available

[bert hubert]

I've made a new snapshot of the PowerDNS recursor available on:

                http://svn.powerdns.com/pdns-recursor.tar.bz2

This version fixes a number of nasty bugs that make the recursor slow down
over time. This only affects those of you serving more than 1 packet per CPU
MHz or so - so 1000 packets/s on a 800MHz CPU for example.

Also new in this version is 'max-cache-entries' which allows you to limit
the cache to say, a reasonable 1 million entries. I'd love to be able to
have you specify a limit in megabytes but it is very hard to measure actual
memory usage. DJBDNS can do it but it requires too much work to do it from
c++.

There are now very spiffy CPU usage graphs, which you can see here:

(FreeBSD users may need to use gmake instead of make to build this version)
