I'm wondering whether having a huge hosts file could create any performance issues since it needs to get parsed regularly I assume.
Does anybody have experience in this regard?
What about a basic version with ~100 entries?
- vegardx 8y agoI would imagine very little, and as far as I can tell the resolver is called first and then a lookup is done in /etc/hosts, the hosts-file takes precedence.
- jason_slack 8y agoI have like 30,000 entries in mine and there is no performance issues. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
