dnspod-sr is a high-performance recursive DNS server written in C by DNSPod, designed for Linux. It claims roughly double the throughput of BIND or Unbound and includes caching, security hardening, and DNS pollution resistance.

Use cases

  • run a fast recursive DNS resolver on Linux
  • replace an aging BIND setup with a faster DNS server
  • set up internal DNS for a company, school, or government network
  • cache DNS responses to speed up internet browsing
  • resolve domains correctly despite DNS pollution
  • build a DNS server cluster for high load

When to choose

  • you need very high DNS query throughput on Linux
  • you operate in a network environment with DNS pollution or poisoning
  • you want a lightweight, easy-to-deploy recursive resolver

When to avoid

  • you need a full authoritative DNS server with zone management
  • you require Windows or macOS support
  • you need a project with frequent updates and large community support
