[Dnsmasq-discuss] Reponse time is huge for big payload SRV record on dnsmasq servers

[Harish Shetty]

Hi Simon

Thanks for the reply,  Yes you are rite, Truncated bit  is set in the
message. I am seeing ";; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode."  in the answer.
But it is expected and answer is more than 512 bytes (which is size of UDB
packet). TCP port 53 is allowed , but DNS respone time from dnsmasq service
is more than 3 sec sometime 4 or 5 sec.  When we query directly upstream
server we are seeing the response  on avg of 100 to 200 ms.

Is there anyway we can make DNS query faster in dnsmasq  server, because it
is making our application timeouts.

Regards
Harish Shetty
