Hopefully not too far off topic for this list. Am looking for options to deploy DNS caching resolvers at remote locations where there may only be minimal infrastructure (FW and Cisco equipment) and limited options for installing a noisier, more power hugnry servers or appliances from a vendor. Stuff like Infoblox is too expensive. We're BIND-based and leaning to stick that way, but open to other options if they present themselves. Am considering the Soekris net6501-50. I can dump a Linux image on there with our DNS config, indudstrial grade design, and OK performance. If the thing fails, clients will hopefully not notice due to anycast which will just hit another DNS server somewhere else on the network albeit with additional latency. We ship out a replacement device rather than mucking with trying to repair. There's also stuff like this[1] which probably gives me more horsepower on my CPU, but maybe not as reliable. Maybe I'm overengineering this. What do others do at smaller remote sites? Also considering putting resolvers only at "hub" locations in our MPLS network based on some latency-based radius.
