Hi Luca, Thanks for your answer. Makes a lot of sense, the worker will just use the translation (I guess it simply call gethostbyname) as long as it lives, so I surely need too use DisableReuse=on and then rely on something like dnsmask or unbound. I can’t rely on MaxConnectionsPerChild because the translation may have changed before it happens. Best! Gus
