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.
