Bug 1464850

Description of problem:
RFE to have RHEL7 version of BIND (package bind-9.9.4-38.el7_3.3.x86_64.rpm) compiled with the --with-tuning=large compile flag or has equivalent optimizations for large deployments, as described in: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01314/0/-with-tuninglarge-about-using-this-build-time-option.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-9.9.4-38.el7_3.3.x86_64.rpm

Additional info:
There is no "--with-tuning=large" option in RHEL6 (bind-9.8.2) nor RHEL7 (bind-9.9.4) that could be turned on during compile time as it is in upstream bind-9.10.x:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ bind-9.8.2rc1]$ grep -R with-tuning
[ bind-9.8.2rc1]$
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is also no way to tune the hard coded values described in the provided isc kbase article other than changing them by hand on source code level (there is no UDPBUFFERS, EXCLBUFFERS, RESOLVER_NTASKS in RHEL6/7 code):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ egrep -R "ISC_SOCKET_MAXEVENTS|ISC_SOCKET_MAXSOCKETS|RCVBUFSIZE|RESOLVER_NTASKS|UDPBUFFERS|EXCLBUFFERS" | grep define | grep ".c:" | grep -v FD_SETSIZE
bind-9.8.2rc1/lib/isc/win32/socket.c:#define RCVBUFSIZE (32*1024)
bind-9.8.2rc1/lib/isc/unix/socket.c:#define ISC_SOCKET_MAXSOCKETS 4096
bind-9.8.2rc1/lib/isc/unix/socket.c:#define ISC_SOCKET_MAXEVENTS        64
bind-9.8.2rc1/lib/isc/unix/socket.c:#define RCVBUFSIZE (32*1024)
$
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In comparison with the upstream source code (bind-9.10.5-P1) we can see '--with-tuning' option is existing there:
