      Hi all,

      One of the feeds that I use for DNSBL is EladKarako_BD - yes it's a bit of a pain but it has a lot of valid blocked domains and occasionally, some false-positives (like Zappos! Who doesn't like shoes?!)

      Whenever I whitelist a domain, it can take up to a minute for it to process and finish. My understanding is that it may be due to the size of the whitelist (mine has about 1800 entries) - so I am wondering if anyone has any tips and/or tricks on how speed things up?

      Running pfSense 2.5.1 with pBNG-Devel 3.0.0_16 and python module enabled. TLD is disabled.

      Thanks !

        Bueller... bueller?

        Noticed that when I add a domain to the whitelist, that unbound process spikes up to some crazy CPU utilization until, I am assuming, it's done syncing. Is there any way to speed the process? This is an 8 core ATOM system with a C2758 processor... perhaps there's a way to just sync whats beed added as opposed to go through everything in the list...?
