[MaraDNS list] Deadwood timing out on lookup

[Steve Fatula]

Didn't work for me.

dwood3rc:

ipv4_bind_addresses = "127.0.0.1"
chroot_dir = "/etc/maradns"
recursive_acl = "127.0.0.1"
timeout_seconds = 10
maximum_cache_elements=1024
reject_mx=0
filter_rfc1918=0
upstream_servers = {}
upstream_servers["."] = "8.8.8.8, 4.2.2.2"

resolv.conf:

nameserver 127.0.0.1


I tried all sorts of things. It was taking around 40 seconds for milter-greylist to use deadwood to resolv the stuff it needed to (and never resolved dnswl). So, I replaced deadwood with dnsmasq, and, it takes < 2 seconds now. Works perfectly, though, uses a little more memory. So, not sure why dnsmasq is 20 times faster, but it is on this system which is openvz Centos 5.6
