I've slogged through the site/faq/archive and couldn't find an answer on this. How does analog handle the DNSFILE? Does it load it entirely into memory? Create it's own hash? Just do a linear search?
The reason I'd like to know is that I used analog on a small hosting company, where I set up a system to reverse large number of IP addresses and keep them in a mysql database. I then patched analog to use this database for lookups. There are millions and millions of reversed IP addresses in this database and mysql is getting a little dodgy handling it. I'm setting up a new stats system for another company and I'm wondering if a 20-million line DNSFILE will cause analog to choke or eat a rediculous amount of memory. If so, I have a plan for a different database scheme that should be more elegant, but a lot of work. So, any experience with really big dns cache files?
