Install an optimized BIND 9.2.3Beta
Authored by: mule on May 14, '04 02:30:07PM

Well, last time I checked, there was no altivec enabled code in BIND, so I do not quite get what kind of improvement this should get you. Furtermore, binary size does not allow a proportinal comparison towareds speed. There are binaries which are very large yet execute faster than a small binarry. Unroling loops does get you some speed boost, butgenerakky speaking, for various reasons, I do nto feel Mac os X do be the best platform wheny ou run a large DNS server..

What reasons?

As I'm possibly going to have to set up DNS for a company I'm doing work for I'm curious as to why you say: "...for various reasons, I do not feel Mac OS X to be the best platform when you run a large DNS server..."

In which case, what platform WOULD you recommend?
