OpenBLD.net โ€“ Engine for a Faster Internetโ€‹

These are the new "gears" in the racing engine of OpenBLD.net. Some have been rewritten or built from scratch:

  • Synchronous processing of block lists
  • Caching of blocking events
  • Updated caching system โ€” the log enricher now has its own cache
  • Enhanced request processing system
  • New health-checking system for upstream servers, with response time detection
  • Improved load balancing, routing requests to servers with the lowest response time
  • Optimized parallel DNS request handling, delivering the fastest response

I hope these features will help us save valuable time online while the OpenBLD.net system's gears run smoothly under the hood.
