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. _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
