     90          Currently several big ISPs are evaluating the PowerDNS recursor for their resolving needs, some of them have switched already. 
     91          In the course of testing, over 350 million actual queries have been recorded and replayed, the answers turn out to be satisfactorily,  
     92          although we are still looking into some very minor discrepancies (less than 0.05% of queries have unexplained differences).

     94        <para> 
     95          This testing has verified that the pdns recursor, as shipped in this release, can stand up to heavy duty ISP loads  
     96          (over 20000 queries/second) and in fact does so better than major other nameservers.

     98        <para> 
     99          We invite ISPs who note recursor problems to record their problematic traffic and replay it using the tools described in 
     100          <xref linkend="analysis"> to discover if PowerDNS does a better job, and to let us know the results.
