can you clarify, is the workload a "production" resolver (so, a real
user base that is perhaps really only offering ~6k qps of load), or is
this a "benchmark" where the goal is to determine the maximum number of
qps that the server can handle?

either way, a load average of 21-28 sounds way too high.  perhaps
solaris has some sort of tool (dtrace?) comparable to the linux "perf"
tool that would help pinpoint the cause of the poor performance?
