[Pdns-users] Latency and cache size are correlated

[Chet Nichols III]

Hey Eugene-
I know you have a few issues you're trying to tackle- but I'm going to try
to focus on this one: ..you currently have people making recursive lookups
through your authoritative nameserver? Just making sure I'm reading that
right. If so, I don't entirely understand your reasoning- if you could
explain it again (in possibly a different way), we might be able to help you
come up with a better solution to split authoritative vs recursive lookups
so you're not mixing.

Talk to you soon, sorry if I'm asking the same question twice- thanks!

Chet
