dns
In my rails app i do a nslookup using a ruby library resolv
. If the site like dgdfgdfgdfg.com
is entered its talking too long to resolve. in some instance like 20 sec.(mostly for non-existent sites) Because it cause the application to slowdown.
So i though of introducing a timeout period for the dns lookup.
What will be the ideal timeout period for the dns lookup so that resolution of actual site doesnt fail. will something like 10 sec will be fine?
