Hi Daniel,

thanks a lot for the answer..

In my eyes it would be helpful if it could be possible to speed up the signer with more cores..
But .. in my eyes it is not a showstopper. But a good information for buying the right processor in a server if we decide to use knot for signing..

If I have a look to your issue I fear that there wouldn't be any modification in this direction..

best regards

Hi Christian,

Unfortunately, the present implementation of zone signing cannot utilize
more CPU cores per one zone. The "background-workers" option is useful
just
for setting the number of different-zone events which are executed
concurrently.

We even have a very old issue on this
https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/knot/knot-dns/issues/186

Is it a serious limitation for you deployment?

Regards,
Daniel
