[Pdns-users] Recursor Cache entries per record

[Otto Moerbeek]

Hello

What Winfried says is true, with the note that a few more bits of the
query are included in the hash, while some other pats are skipped;
e.g. the recursor skips the EDSN ECS and Cookie bits when computing
the hash.

Also note that while the packet cache is per thread, the other cache
(record cache) is shared between all threads since a few releases.
The latter is used to lookup packet hash misses, to retrieve infra
data to find auths and a few more things).
