Re: Lightweight DNS server for Spamikaze

It does about 700 queries/sec on my dual core Athlon. The bottleneck seems to be CPU. Profiling revealed that a lot of time is spend constructing and deconstructing the DNS packets.
I'll go over the code in the weekend, to see if there are any obvious
bugs, before I commit the thing.

Wait sec before you commit it. I'm working on an optimised version. It should be much faster.

Speaking of which, I wonder if we should move the configuration to
/etc/sysconfig/spamikaze (with /etc/spamikaze/config as fall-back) so
we better fit in with most Linux distributions...


Do more distros use this beside the RH derivatives?
