[Dnsmasq-discuss] About resolution performance and adblock

[Ercolino de Spiacico]

Hi Buck, thank you for the new info you brought up in your message

I should have mentioned: I'm not an adblock user reporting performance 
issue here or lookign for alternatives, but rather the developer of 
adblock (currently in version 2.78m) for FreshTomato; so switching to 
Pi-hole somehow defeats the initiative we have embraced over 3 years 
ago. Also, Pi-Hole requires additional HW, where FreshTomato runs on a 
simple router with optional USB storage.

The modification you mentioned the Pi-Hole team applied to dnsmasq are 
very interesting for sure, are they or can they be made public?

Still, I do like to stick to my grep test of mine as I believe to be 
very significant. SQLite "might" be great, as well as regex, but I do 
believe that an optimized handling of blocked domains might be the way 
to go and a quick win too.

Once again, thank you so much for your interesting message.
