Hello,
I have a very busy webserver running apache2
checking /proc/net/ip_conntrack and filtering port 53 i noticed that i have
around 50 000 dns query in under 200 second.
destinations are by order:- memcache cluster- database- external web services
I can't add these in my /etc/hosts file as they're all load balanced and each
time our dns responds with a different IP so i'm thinking of caching these with
dnsmasq or something similar.
Any cons of such an idea? any dnsmasq alternative ?
i know on ubuntu there's "dnscache" though there are certain limitations on
that front.
PS: using dig, i noticed that every query takes around 3 ms to the data centers
nameserver.
