Subject: [gentoo-dev] djbdns 1.05-r8 breaks forward-only behaviour of dnscache
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2003 01:43:34 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1066286611.5224.13.camel@localhost> (raw)

Hi,

The round-robin patch included in the djbdns-1.05-r8 ebuild breaks
default dnscache FORWARDONLY  behaviour.  this means that servers/@ and
env/FORWARDONLY are not honored, and the ns roots are queried for
lookups.  The result of the patch is that if you set FORWARDONLY and
servers/@ to a non-root cache, expecting to make efficient use of, say,
your ISP's nameservers, you'll end up doing far more queries than you
intended for any given lookup... on my systems because of latency I was
timing out for a lot of lookups.  to test, compile with rr-patch, set
dnscache up to do forward-only (per DJB's docs), and then sniff to see
the root queries I mentioned.  recompile without it, and repeat to see
the difference.

bug filed.
