Camel Dudes, We have detected a very strange issue in that our https routes degrade in performance when an ip address is used (as opposed to a domain name).
Turns out that the Java core libraries do reverse DNS lookup for ip address when SSL connections are created. Read all about it here: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1532033 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3193936/how-to-disable-javas-ssl-reverse-dns-lookup This becomes an issue when the IP address is not configured in the DNS server and the reverse DNS fails. In this case each connection has to wait for a timeout of the reverse DNS request before it can proceed. This makes domain name connections faster than ip address connections - which is backwards. Is this a known issue? There are a few workarounds/hacks recommended on the interwebs, I was wondering if it would be possible to introduce them into camel (http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2959030&postcount=8). tia, rouble
