I've seen DNS lookups take over 3 seconds, but then I'm on a slow ADSL connection with a high error rate. I'm guessing the 3 seconds is due to UDP retries as the first few attempts get trashed on my crappy line.
I don't know why LMS appears to not suffer the horrible Windows DNS cache. Maybe (wild guess) there's a way for an application to say it doesn't want the cache? It could always do the DNS lookups itself as raw UDP traffic and then call the Windows socket API using the resulting IP addresses. But I have seen requests to my dnsmasq server for BBC addresses, Akamai, mysqueezebox.com and others related to LMS activity, so it is going to the DNS address my router's DHCP gives out. I guess it couldn't really use any other DNS address, but there's no reason it couldn't use it directly as an IP address to send UDP traffic to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Owen Smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
