I had a Perl script that simulated a name server with infinite cache, and I based the lookup timeouts on the time stamps in the logs. Basically, I kept a big hash of when each IP address would be looked up and the timestamp of last lookup. If the IP address was encountered again within the TTL, then it was counted as a cache hit. If it was encountered after the TTL would have expired, it was counted as a cache miss and the timestamp was updated (to simulate a cache refresh.) > well, connections to our mailservers _do_ repeat, expecially for > servers like google, facebook or similar services. Yes, *good* ones repeat. But *bad* ones don't, and unfortunately the bad ones outnumber the good ones by a wide margin. Regards, David.
