At $lastjob, we had 60k subs using a pair of BSD boxes running a pretty simple BIND instance with no issues. We used 
frr to advertise a vip for customers to query against, but otherwise it was a pretty simple install/config.

Hello all,
Do you have any recommendations for recursive DNS servers for a medium sized (20-30k users) ISP.
We have used powerdns and unbound but sometimes find the caching times a bit on upper side. Any suggestions between 
these two or anything new?
Also need points on how much we tune the settings
pros and cons if any.

Thank you /DP
