Although I agree with your assessment of the goal, the only difference I see between the two is wording semantics. An RFC-compliant DNS cache will, for all intents and purposes, look an awful lot like any other caching, recursive-only DNS resolver (like dnscache). The only major difference would be that it would accept requests via an API as opposed to through a socket interface. Regardless, I have to sit on the same side as David and Michael - in very high-performance environments, I doubt the difference between an internal cache and an external one is going to be significant. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com
