DNS-Caching
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
User experience may be greatly improved when dns is accelerated. Also it
|
||
|
|
seems like a good idea to keep the number if packages being exchanged
|
||
|
|
between node and gateway as small as possible. In order to do this, a
|
||
|
|
dns-cache may be used on a node. The dnsmasq instance listening on port
|
||
|
|
53 in the node will be re-configured to answer requests, use a list of
|
||
|
|
upstream servers and a specific cache size if the below options are
|
||
|
|
added to site.conf All settings are optional, though if no dns server is
|
||
|
|
set, the configuration will not be altered by gluon-core.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Besides caching dns requests from clients, the next_node-addresses are set to
|
||
|
|
resolve to a configurable name that may optionally be placed in next_node.name.

dns = {
|
||
|
|
cacheentries = 5000,
|
||
|
|
servers = { '2001:db8::1', },
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
next_node = {
|
||
|
|
name = 'nextnode',
|
||
|
|
ip6 = '2001:db8:8::1',
|
||
|
|
ip4 = '198.51.100.1',
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The cache will be initialized during startup. Each cache entry will use roughly
|
||
|
|
90 Bytes of main memory.
