I seem to notice two things:
- We're not using the DNS supplied TTL in the hostname_cache.
I'd consider that to be undesirable behaviour of a DNS cache, it leads
to all kinds of hard-to-trace bugs in accessing some sites with
intentionally low TTLs (load balancing, failover, or dynamic IPs).
- We're not expiring hostname_cache entries anywhere, it seems.
How is this supposed to work?
