Gaël,
I'd be glad to know what you think of it and if it can be intregated in the main release (it might need some work to fit nicer than now).
I think this is a very good idea, assuming you are in an environment where DNS caching helps more than it does harm :) Which should be the case for most distributed logging setups.
You should definitely implement a boolean option for turning this on and off in the configuration file, and add directives for cache size and expiry time as well.
I implemented a DNS cache patch for 1.4.10. With this patch you get the following options: - DNS caching on/off - Min. entries in cache - Max. entries in cache - TTL of entries (0=Use TTL from DNS) At the moment it works fine on my Linux box, but I have some problems on our Solaris 2.6 machines. I hope to fix it in the next few days. Regards Thomas
