[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq performance as dns forwarder in larger environments

[Thorsten Peter]

Hey folks,

we are planning to test dnsmasq as a dns forwarder only, no dhcp and no
caching involved. Caching might play a role later though.
We are talking a internal, private network consiting of ~ 200 servers
(Apache/JBoss mainly). Plan would be to use 4 servers as dnsmasq
forwarders, to our upstream servers and to serv all other internal servers
with DNS responses. We are talking about a platform that has about 130
Million hits per day, so we are talking maybe peaks of 1000-1500 dns
queries that would hit dnsmasq ...

Is anyone here using a installation with dnsmasq of this size and that
load? I'd be glad if you guys could give me some thoughts on this ...

thanks,

Thorsten
