Engineered Redundancy
The BasementBuild DNS infrastructure is not a single point of failure. It is a sophisticated, high-availability cluster built on the PowerDNS and Pi-hole ecosystems. By decoupling the load balancer from the resolution nodes, we achieve enterprise-level performance in a localized lab environment.
Sub-Millisecond Response
Leveraging a massive 30,000-entry RAM packet cache, the frontend dnsdist-lb answers frequent queries instantly, bypassing the backend triad entirely for ultra-low latency.
Hardware Diversity
Our resolution triad is distributed across three distinct environments: a dedicated VM, a Docker container, and a bare-metal node, ensuring 100% uptime even during hypervisor maintenance.
Proactive Security
The cluster automatically identifies and mitigates over 250,000 known ad, tracker, and malware domains at the network level, protecting every device in the lab without local software.
Live Infrastructure Transparency
Our commitment to operational excellence. All metrics are extracted directly from the resolution triad in real-time to ensure maximum operational visibility and auditability.
Telemetry Logic & Formulas
Data is aggregated using a 24-hour rolling window. Mathematical query counts are calculated as Current_Total - Midnight_Baseline to provide accurate, drift-free "Queries Today" statistics.
