Both boxes are connected through a Cisco switch. All connections are gig, full duplex. Test was done with changing the OS on the DNS server box.

A task on the list but which I haven't gotten to yet. The results are interesting. I would also take them with a grain of salt. This was done very quickly to see what initial numbers would pop out. Version of FreeBSD is 6.1. named was compiled with threads and using libthr. Polling was not enabled. query OS named OS qps ------------------------------ FreeBSD FreeBSD 38442 Linux FreeBSD 22211 Linux Linux 53225 FreeBSD 4.11 is not easily installed on these boxes and currently means that I have to physically touch them so I do not know when I will have time to try it out as a query host. -- DaveD
