Network module slow when using hostname instead of IP addres

[j0dan]

When I use a hostname instead of an IP address in the network module, there is a second or two delay before that command runs. It's as if there is a DNS delay and the ISY doesn't cache it.

 

Is that the case, or is something else going on?

Hi j0dan,

 

DNS resolution requests are not thread safe and therefore, we put a lock around it and thus the delay.

 

So, you should see a variable amount of delay depending on what other network activity/operation ISY is currently performing.

 

With kind regards,

Will DNS caching be added to future versions?

 

It's annoying having a delay as I use it to control other devices where one would expect instant feedback.

j0dan,

 

Perhaps but this will go to the core networking and quite abrasive when it comes to regression testing.

 

What are you trying to communicate with?

Sorry for the delay in replying!

 

I use it to add playback controls for different media devices. When it takes 2-4 seconds to pause or switch tracks you wonder if something is wrong.

Hello j0dan,

 

Thank you. Please try 3.1.5 and let me know if you feel any difference.

 

With kind regards,
