Please read my recent thread "excessive DNS slows httpd". The bottom line: I recently introduced SSL to part of my web site, and it slowed considerably. Using iptables (on a Linux system),I blocked all DNS, and speed of response is better than ever, 8 meg photo files notwithstanding. Additionally, I thought sign-in is encrypted even when SSL is not in use. Is this not true?
