dino has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello
Has anyone written code to allow perl to use the adns library.
perhaps a patch to NET::DNS or something. I'm processing vast
apache logfiles and need to do very fast namelookup. sadly jdresolve is too
slow and dns-terror uses too much ram when the db size gets too big.
suggestions please
There's an incomplete attempt at a perl adns interface
here.
You might just get the milage you need out of the
adnslogres utility that comes with adns though. You could just pre-process
the host name resolution before your perl script parses
the logs. (Supposing you wanted to do more than just
resolve the hostnames).
