dnsmasq #59

Closed fajabird closed 8 years ago

Because of Performance reasons I want to use a local dnsmasq deamon with Caching enabled to Speed up lookups by geoip on hostnames. It seems that geoip does dns-lookups directly bypasing dnsmasq.

  1. Am I right?

2 What can I do?

Pass in IP addresses, and GeoIP won't do any DNS lookup.
