One way to reduce the latency for name resolution is to run a nscd (name service caching daemon). Another is adding the host to /etc/hosts as was previously mentioned. We use a single source of truth (in our case, a DNS zone file which is generated from a database) to automatically create a hosts file /etc/hosts.auto, which we can then use to populate /etc/hosts. We put markers at the beginning and end of the automatically generated hosts.auto file so we can replace that part inside /etc/hosts if hosts.auto is newer than hosts. If your machine doesn't need DNS at all (it's a firewall after all), you may consider removing dns from /etc/nsswitch.conf to remove any attempt to use a DNS server. Not sure if this helps you, but you never know. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
