[Pdns-users] Recursor Cache Sizing: Is more always better?

[Winfried]

Hi Christoph,

My recommendation is to limit the TTL to 12 or 6 hours and find out how many cache entries are created during this time. Increase that by 50% and that's your value. You'll see that it doesn't require that much memory space.
