I do wonder about the purpose of the recursor in the

recursor -> dnsdist -> upstream-recursive

case. You might as well use

dnsdist -> upstream-recursive

With a caching dnsdist.
Unless you need recursor specific functionality, of course.

It was my impression that dnsdist was meant for smaller caches not for large caches in the order of several GB of cached records (with prefetching and DNSSEC validation functionality)
but if we can remove something in the chain that might probably benefit
latency, CPU usage and reduce complexity, so I'm very open for suggestions.
I've also some generic question about cache sizing that I'll put in a second email.

We will also publish our entire setup and what we are actually aiming to achieve with it. We find it wonderful that dnsdist allows us to offer multiple DNS privacy services with distinct privacy properties using a single dnsdist configuration.

best regards,
Christoph
