[eclipse.org-committers] CVS performance - pserver access


From the "it can't always be us" dept.


A few of you have reported slow connection times to anonymous pserver CVS, especially when performing builds.

The reason for this is that a few of you have a broken DNS, where your IP doesn't reverse-lookup at all, or the reverse-lookup and the forward don't match. This would introduce a delay of *at least* 30 seconds for your connection.

One project had this problem yesterday with their build server in Turkey. This morning their DNS is fixed, and their connection time went from 32 seconds yesterday to 0.38 seconds today. While in Turkey I tested CVS, website, downloads and bugzilla performance. All were very responsive from across the pond. Thanks Naci for allowing me to test all this!

To test your DNS, please log in to Committer Tools [1] and hit the Test my DNS link. I reconfigured pserver to be less strict with the lookups, but I cannot remove them altogether because I need to enforce domain-name restrictions on specific domains. And no, I'm not about to start maintaining your broken hostnames in my hosts files.

Here are some of the broken hosts from yesterday's log. I have *hundreds* of entries from some of these hosts:

(bi01pt1.ct.us.ibm.com): Name or service not known
