[isp-dns] Re: DNS with MySQL backend

["shoffman" <shoffman@...>]

I do not know if its a SQL statement that they use to query Oracle (I agree 
with you there, but I can find out.  I know their lead dBA quite well).  I 
worked for them for two years before I got too tired of California and came 
back to texas.

They do use, however, a HIGHLY optimized query into the database for 
non-cached answers, and it is the slowest part of their system, but they 
drive their system to ensure that 90%+ of the answers are actually coming 
out of cache and not from the database backend.  But I now they would spend 
days optimizing query calls to ensure the fastest database answers they 
could.
