Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that in parallel to my bughunt (which involves a lot of waiting for lab results), I will now begin to implement a real DNS cache. That will be a v5-exclusive feature (too much trouble to do it in v4 and v5, code base has changed too much).
Together with the case, I will probably also implement a feature to override reverse DNS resolution via a file - simply by loading non-expiring entries from that file. I just thought I share this plan, if someone has feature requests in that regard. It would be good to know them, as now is a good time to integrate them into the design. Tech side-note: I'll be using AVL trees for the cache, as I don't outrule many entries and this hopefully speeds up cache searches for larger caches. Once the avl tree class is there, I can probably speed up a few other things that currently rely on simple linked lists). I will probably do two or even three releases until the full functionality is there. I also plan to do a "pre-cache" v5-devel today, so that all new features (including imudp epoll) are rolled out and can be tested.
