Hello Alex,
unfortunately, in its current state, Knot DNS is not very fast when it
comes to DDNS, and it's partly because of RCU, since for every update,
we have to do a partial copy of the zone. We'll be doing a lot of
improvements to Knot's internal structures during summer, and we'll keep
DDNS performance in mind, so hopefully things will get better soon.
As of now, we do not plan to parallelize DDNS processing. We've done
some measurements, and we're confident we can easily achieve performance
of ~5k QPS in single thread only. We'll let you know once we have some
working code and we can discuss it further then. I'm sorry I don't have
anything better for you, but hopefully that will change with the 1.6.0
release.
Have a nice day,
Jan

Hi Ondřej,
We have a master server which receives only updates and a farm of slave servers (ifxr),
which handle reads.
The issue is scaling master server, 1 zone, which is 80M (text), currently we cannot get
more than 200 QPS updates from BIND on 4-way SMP Linux machine.
Each update request is usually 1-2 records. And usually we don't have parallel
updates which are working on the same record.
Our target is 10x from current - i.e. ~1G single zone, which does ~2-4k QPS of updates.
Actually as much as possible in terms of QPS, CPUs & memory is not an issue - we can
get stronger machine.
Thanks, Alex.

Hi Alex,
could you describe your scenario in more detail?
How many zones are we talking about?
How big the zones are?
How many updates per second per zone?
O.

Subject: [knot-dns-users] Parallel dynamic DNS updates
Hello,
I'm trying to understand if Knot can solve
our performance problem
with big scale dynamic DNS deployment. Currently we use BIND and the
performance of Dynamic Updates is insufficient for our requirements.
Doing some research I understood that BIND processes updates
sequentially and can't really benefit from SMP.
I understand how RCU allows parallel reads with
updates. But reads is
not an issue in our deployment. My question is, does Knot able to
process multiple updates in parallel (and not sequentially) and
provide a better scale for _ updates _?
As far as I understand it depends on data
structure hierarchy
implemented in Knot.
