nsd users - Dec 2011 - Question about "server-count" config option

Hi there,

I have a question about the "server-count" option. nsd.conf(5) simply 
states that it tells NSD to "start this many NSD servers", with no 
further commentary.

Is there a situation where this value would ever be anything other than 
1? Should it equal the number of available CPU cores?

Cheers,

Hi Gavin,

Yes, the usual practice is to set this value to the number of cores
available.
