What is the value your max-cache-entries set to, Brendan? I set it to 4 looking at the graph "Cache sizes". The curve for cache sizes is slowly rising above 40k. But I would be worried because there are about 400 MB free of RAM Playing with recursive-cache-ttl seems to me more worthwhile too. I

Thanks, Alan! Unfortunately I can't set them apart. Lots of our clients use dns IPs to recursing and same IPs are added to domain name registrars registries. A thought came to me after reading your answer, if in my pdns.conf I allow recursion for my networks only does it mean that none of the ques

I thought I answered your questions, Bert. Anyways, I'll do it again. Q. Do you get that 'unknown escape sequence' error a lot? A. Not a lot, but the fair amount of pdns.err file is filled with this entries. What do they mean? How and why are they formed? Q. When you do non-recursion queries ('d

For one you are probably running with the default my.cnf file. You would want to modify it to use a larger key_buffer which can help. However to do this you would first want to upgrade the amount of memory you are using. Which will allow you to up the recursor's amount of domains it holds in memory
