My browsing habits are pretty regular, though: there’s half a dozen sites I visit regularly and the rest are random blogs/etc. I suspect about 20% of the domains I visit account for 80% of my browsing traffic and there would be enormous benefits from a dns speed perspective to a local caching resolver.
- js2 8y agoMaybe. Many sites use pretty short TTLs. So your sites may be dropping out of your cache more frequently than you think. Easy to test though. Run dnsmasq and enable query logging and see how often it’s having to forward requests. Then realize a recursing resolver is potentially having to go all the way to the TLDs for those requests.
- zcid 8y agounbound for instance provides 'cache-min-ttl' which allows you to prevent excessively small ttl values.
