Hi, Currently Dropbear doesn't do anything clever with DNS, it just calls get getaddrinfo() synchronously. I'll take a look at how hard it would be to do asynchronous lookups. I'm not sure that caching really belongs in individual apps - if anything it should be the socks client doing caching? Matt
