Abstract: Techniques are provided for increasing the efficiency and efficacy of DNS clients. In one technique, DNS clients log information about performance of one or more DNS servers that the DNS clients use to resolve DNS resolution requests. The DNS clients send, to a control server, performance data regarding the DNS resolution requests and/or subsequent connections to servers associated with resolved domain names. Based on the performance data, the control server sends, to one or more DNS clients, configuration data that adjusts the configuration of the DNS clients. For example, if a particular DNS server is taking a considerable amount of time to resolve DNS resolution requests from one or more DNS clients, then the control server may send, to a plurality of DNS clients, configuration data that indicates a different set of one or more DNS servers for the plurality of DNS clients to contact for subsequent DNS resolution requests.

Abstract translation: 提供了提高DNS客户端的效率和功效的技术。 在一种技术中，DNS客户端记录有关DNS客户端用于解决DNS解析请求的一个或多个DNS服务器的性能的信息。 DNS客户端向控制服务器发送有关DNS解析请求和/或与解析域名相关联的服务器的后续连接的性能数据。 根据性能数据，控制服务器向一个或多个DNS客户端发送调整DNS客户端配置的配置数据。 例如，如果特定DNS服务器花费大量时间来解决来自一个或多个DNS客户端的DNS解析请求，则控制服务器可以向多个DNS客户端发送指示不同的一组的配置数据 或多个DNS服务器，用于多个DNS客户端联系以用于后续的DNS解析请求。
