[Dproxy-devel] memory cache for top 100?

[<qu...@ba...>]

Hi all,
	has anyone thought about implementing a memory cache for the top
100 or so dns lookups? This would definately be faster, especially for
things like entries from /etc/hosts and deleteing timed out entries.

I think putting the whole thing in memory would be good as you could then
setup another thread which would purge the timedout cache entries and
rewrite the file (Less IO = good);

However, if the cache grows large this could be a downfall.
Comments?

Also, what's happening with getting dproxy working on the gateway machine.
I know it means implenting the full dns protocol but I think it may be
worth it.

Cheers,
