DNS response time can be a huge issue. The type of software you use can also make a difference. I noticed a significant increase in the speed of lookups when I switched from using BIND9 to djbdns.
- jpg 18y agoI haven't heard of djbdns... did you measure performance before and after? How did you measure it?
- bcl 18y agodjbdns id from Dan Bernstein - http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html No, I didn't do any measurements other than subjective observations. This was on my LAN and using BIND9 I would see noticeable delays between the 'looking up' and 'connecting to' messages in firefox. After switching to djbdns you hardly have time to read the 'looking up' before it starts the connection.
