In the end we will probably be doing authoritative DNS for 11,000 domains, and another 200 or so in-arpa address ranges for reverse resolution. The plan is to have 3 core machines. One is the master, and gets its zone files created from local cvs exports. The other two are slaves, and do zone transfers from the master. The Public will actually only talk to these two slave DNS servers (NS1 and NS2). The machines themselves will be Single 3Ghz Xeon, 1Gb Memory, and 70Gb RAID 1 U320 SCSI. For every machine, we will have a standby machine waiting and ready. The first question is, do I have enough CPU/Memory. Keep in mind these machines will nothing but DNS. Are there any performace issues with using regular filesystem directory zone file storage. For example, we will have a very large named.conf file with some 11,000 zone entries (I have never worked with a named.conf file that big before). Those entries will just reference the local filesystem, file "s/a/adam.com"; and so on. The next big question is BIND8 or BIND9. I would like to take advantage of threading in BIND9, but saw a previous post that BIND9 can have difficulty working with BIND8 servers which were incorrectly setup, whereas BIND8 can allow for a certain level of "external" incompetence. And finally, Linux or FreeBSD, and if FreeBSD, 4 or 5. Current staff (besides me) whats to run Debian Linux, but BIND9 pthreads dont work in Linux, do they work in FreeBSD? I want to use FreeBSD just because it better overall with regards to TCP/IP. The only performance numbers we got from the other ISP, is that existing dns servers use about a constanst 400 kbps (bits) of bandwidth.

I am struggling to even understand his logging entry in the conf file. How does one submit a mail to the isc-org. dhcp server mailing list. I have the entry in my conf file but no entries are added to my log file even though the server spews out an address. Any ideas?

I can't comment too much on the above - but I can say that you might be well served to use FreeBSD-5(STABLE), and use carp for failover to your other boxes. That would give you a very nice failover setup. I'm a bind person myself, but some have reported great success also with djbdns, and I know there are some implementations of mysql and other backends for bind and djbdns. You could set up a test bed - should be pretty easy, and probably worth the effort.

What I did when I had a similar situation is I picked the BIND version that had the most CERT fixes. 8 has been out for a while so it is a good gamble, and if your already worried about backward compatible your question is already answered. Organizational wise what I did was I made primary dns the master of everything and nothing. It had the domain authority but I had a whole fleet of lesser servers in charge of the "sub domains", which I broke up by network address ie 65 network, 198 network etc.. It did mean more servers but then any one system failure did not bring down the whole system. I went with a combination of LINUX and Freebsd but ended with mostly LINUX because it had more platform flexibility, as in I could grab anybodies desktop slap the magic wand of that is my new LINUX box and, bam, I had a temporary LINUX system while I fixed the old one.

For every > machine, we will have a standby machine waiting and ready. sounds like a very conservative setup, and for DNS that's good. if at all possible I would suggest that you move at least one of those servers to a totally seperate network. This is important, if your network is unreachable for say, 20 minutes for any reason, anyone who queries your dns in that time and caches the result will be unable to connect until that invalid entry clears from their cache. As slashdot tells us, some providers ignore your set records, http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl? sid=05/04/18/198259&tid=95&tid=128&tid=4 so this is a very prudent step as i'm sure providers also tweak the retry times since a failed lookups are more likely to be repeated and consume more resources than successful ones. > > The first question is, do I have enough CPU/Memory.

We currently use djbdns to manage everything, i personally find it to be much more tolerant of errors than any version of bind. http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html > > And finally, Linux or FreeBSD, and if FreeBSD, 4 or 5.

The bandwidth, the needed server specs are a combination of two things. First, the number of domains you have and 2nd the TTL on those domains. We currently use a TTL of 12 hours. This serves us well. If you halve the TTL to say, 6 hours, expect to double the number of DNS queries. If you double the TTL to 24 hours, expect to halve the number of DNS queries. > > Thanks in advance > John > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-isp@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-isp > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-isp-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > From owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jun 28 15:23:24 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5FCE916A41C for ; Tue, 28 Jun 2005 15:23:24 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from john@essenz.com) Received: from beck.quonix.net (beck.quonix.net [146.145.66.90]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1631F43D1D for ; Tue, 28 Jun 2005 15:23:23 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from john@essenz.com) Received: from beck.quonix.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by beck.quonix.net (8.13.4/8.13.4) with ESMTP id j5SFNEXL016683; Tue, 28 Jun 2005 11:23:14 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost (essenz@localhost) by beck.quonix.net (8.13.4/8.13.4/Submit) with ESMTP id j5SFNEUe016680; Tue, 28 Jun 2005 11:23:14 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: beck.quonix.net: essenz owned process doing -bs Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 11:23:14 -0400 (EDT) From: John Von Essen X-X-Sender: essenz@beck.quonix.net To: Adam Jacob Muller In-Reply-To: <1D0EBF69-F1EB-4056-BCA1-2E91207D11E8@oxeo.com> Message-ID: <20050628111413.J15817@beck.quonix.net> References: <20050628102618.J13559@beck.quonix.net> <1D0EBF69-F1EB-4056-BCA1-2E91207D11E8@oxeo.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-SpamAssassin-3.0.3-Score: -2.82/5.8 ALL_TRUSTED X-MimeDefang-2.51: beck.quonix.net X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.51 on 146.145.66.90 Cc: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org, John Von Essen Subject: Re: Thoughts on a large-scale DNS server...

The two servers will be in two geographically separated datacenters. I am unfamiliar with djbdns. The first question I have is, are zone file configurations the same. We currently have all 11,000 zone files ready to go within a BIND environment, and we really dont want to have to change the core config style of all those domains. As for TTL, we currently use a 24 hour TTL, for zone file itself we then do something like: $TTL 86400 @ IN SAO ... 2004100500 ; Serial 10800 ; Refresh after 3 hour 3600 ; Retry after 1 hour 604800 ; Expire after 1 week 86400 ) ; Minimum TTL of 1 day The majority of our dns will rarely if "ever" change. I would only use Linux if I was really convinced that BIND (or djbdns) for some reason or another ran better (better pthread support, etc.,.) on it. But then again I'm partial to FreeBSD. -John On Tue, 28 Jun 2005, Adam Jacob Muller wrote: > I annotated your message below, basically explaining our similar setup. > > On Jun 28, 2005, at 10:42 AM, John Von Essen wrote: > > > I have been tasked with setting up a large-scale dns server > > environment > > (One ISP is taking over another ISP) and would greatly appreciate any > > thouhts or experiences that could help me out. > > > > In the end we will probably be doing authoritative DNS for 11,000 > > domains, > > and another 200 or so in-arpa address ranges for reverse resolution. > > we have ~ 10k domains right now, and much less than 200 ptr's > > > > > The plan is to have 3 core machines.

I've converted for most non-trivial configs to using external synchronization (rsync or rdist or the like, generally) instead of zone transfers. I'd just make them all 'masters' with their own local copies; that reduces your failure points (or at least moves them around a bit). > The first question is, do I have enough CPU/Memory. Keep in mind > these machines will nothing but DNS. CPU? Sure. Memory? Quite probably. Even if you assume each zone will eat 64k of memory (which I think it a terribly high guess; at least double what you'd really expect), 11,000 zones will burn less than 700 meg. I'd probably be tempted to double the memory, just because memory is cheap&easy, but I doubt you'll be hitting a wall on it. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.

It uses a compiled DB file for speed and size. On the djbdns mailing lists there has been a few posts from some large-scale admins who use it to serve 500,000 zones, using about 300MB of ram on some mid-grade P4 machines handling 500 queries a second. One of the main reasons I remember they had switched was BIND's startup delay. Myself, I've only got 500 zones and it only uses 800K of memory. It's certainly nothing like BIND, here's all the raw source for a single domain, 2 nameservers, a webserver and an MX. (The . record generates an SOA, an NS at a.ns.mecha.ca, and an A for a.ns.mecha.ca -> 207.194.110.192. The & generates the second NS and A record, @ is the MX a.mx.mecha.ca and the A for a.mx.mecha.ca -> 207.194.110.192, and the + is an A) .mecha.ca:207.194.110.192:a &mecha.ca:207.194.110.196:b @mecha.ca:207.194.110.192:a +www.mecha.ca:207.194.110.192 --=20 Jon Simola Systems Administrator ABC Communications From owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Jun 29 04:49:58 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ADE0316A41C for ; Wed, 29 Jun 2005 04:49:58 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from fullermd@over-yonder.net) Received: from mortis.over-yonder.net (adsl-12-34-87.jan.bellsouth.net [65.12.34.87]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6DF2D43D4C for ; Wed, 29 Jun 2005 04:49:58 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from fullermd@over-yonder.net) Received: by mortis.over-yonder.net (Postfix, from userid 100) id 09F7420FDF; Tue, 28 Jun 2005 23:49:56 -0500 (CDT) Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 23:49:56 -0500 From: "Matthew D.

We use VegaDNS for a much (much) smaller setup, but it allows us to allow clients to manage their own zones as required etc, and removes some of the pain of the file format.

And since the chip is a 2.4Ghz chip, note that even though the HTT shows up in the chip feature string, not all will run HTT. As I recall you have to have a device with an 800FSB also.

If ACPI is being used, then logical CPUs will be probed if hyperthreading is enabled in the BIOS. If ACPI is not being used and hyperthreading is enabled in the BIOS, logical CPUs can be enabled by building a custom kernel with the option MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT enabled. So "device apic" - will be enough (but also option MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT was added in CUSTOM kernel configuration). But HTT enabled in bios and mainboard manual tells that bus with 800 FSB. Anton.

Before you waste any more time on this, you should check that your CPU actually supports Hyper Threading. AFAIK, Celeron CPUs do not. Lapo Nustrini Seanet Corporation lapo@seanet.com
