Hi,
I would think that adding forward DNS lookups to the syslog-ng dns cache code (or ripping out that code entirely and rewrite it from scratch while adding this feature) would produce _much_ better results than a locally running DNS server. That's why the DNS cache code was added in the first place, a caching only name server is still too slow for name lookups for every message posted.
Doesn't nscd take care of a lot of that load? Also, using rbldnsd for serving the geoip data might make sense too. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland.
