PFSense - DNS - DNS Resolver - Prefetch Support
Prefetch keeps popular items in the cache from expiring.
- It will only look up or prefetch a record if a client requests that record and the ttl is within 10% of expiration.
- Lets say www.domain.com had a ttl of 600 seconds.
- Client asks for www.domain.com while the ttl is at 300 seconds.
- The record is returned to the client. No prefetch done as the ttl is only at 50%.
- Now another client asks for www.domain.com while there is say 59 seconds left on the ttl.
- Client will get their answer, and then unbound will go resolve www.domain.com again to refresh the cache.
