Was it implied that the 6000 requests was peak performance of the software, or was it just the current max usage they've seen?

- cygwin98 14y agoI suppose it's the latter. That number is pretty much hardware-specific, though it would give us a bit more details if they mentioned the hardware profile.

- askbjoernhansen 14y ago5-6000 requests was just the number I remembered seeing for sure. I haven't tried pushing the software to get some benchmark number. It was just on one core (all the production servers are currently just using one core for the geodns process), but the response time was similar to idle load so I think there's lots of head-room The monitoring doesn't log data at the second granularity and the traffic is very bursty, so the number was just from staring at the real-time monitoring dashboard I have.
