the nscache.c files are the same in both versions which is why i didnt bother upgrading. looking at cfgfile.c the defaults also appear the same in both cases. thanks for your help, colm -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng-admin@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-admin@lists.balabit.hu]On Behalf Of Balazs Scheidler Sent: 26 September 2002 08:43 To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: Re: [syslog-ng]dns_cache problems with v1.5.13 On Wed, Sep 25, 2002 at 10:58:43AM +0100, colm ennis wrote:
hi all,
im currently using syslog-ng version 1.5.13. i have experienced problems where negatively cached records were preserved indefinitely. only a full restart would cause these ips to be resolved, even a hup would fail.
i've now turned off caching cos we rely on ips being resolved in these log files.
impt part of the config attached,
Hmm... please check the caching timeouts used. in 1.5.20 the defaults are: self->dns_cache_size = 1007; self->dns_cache_expire = 3600; self->dns_cache_expire_failed = 60; e.g. failed entries are remembered to 60 seconds. Quickly checking out test_nscache.c shows that it correctly reresolves entries after the expire_failed interval elapses: balabit:~/src/syslog-ng-1.5/src/tests$ ./test_nscache initialising nscache: 1000 entries, 3600/1 expiration. 127.0.0.1... adding as 273 (1 iters). localhost 0.76.56.200... adding as 546 (2 iters).
