Good point. While I haven't checked the distribution of source IPs yet, I briefly grepped for the User-Agent headers in the tcpdump output, and there's a higher than expected bot presence, particularly Baidu. That said, there are also "normal" UAs (whatever that means, with every device/software pretending to be something else these days). On 16/01/13 05:20 PM, RijilV wrote:
Also client programs don't always honor TTLs either. For example, JAVA defaults to ignoring TTLs and holding IPs forever.
*networkaddress.cache.ttl (default: -1)* Indicates the caching policy for successful name lookups from the name service. The value is specified as as integer to indicate the number of seconds to cache the successful lookup. A value of -1 indicates "cache forever".
Depending on who your clients are, your milage may vary.
