ip-dns-cache-init
Applicable in Init-class directives.
The ip-dns-cache-init function specifies that DNS lookups should be cached when DNS lookups are enabled. If DNS lookups are cached, then when the server gets a client’s host name information, it stores that information in the DNS cache. If the server requires information about the client in the future, the information is available in the DNS cache.
You may specify the size of the DNS cache and the time it takes before a cache entry becomes invalid. The DNS cache can contain 32 to 32768 entries. The default value is 1024 entries. Values for the time before a cache entry expires, specified in seconds can range from 1 second to 1 year. The default value is 1200 seconds (20 minutes).
