.TH CURLOPT_DNS_SHUFFLE_ADDRESSES 3 "3 March 2018" libcurl libcurl
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_DNS_SHUFFLE_ADDRESSES \- shuffle IP addresses for hostname
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_SHUFFLE_ADDRESSES, long onoff);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a long set to 1 to enable this option.
|
|
|
|
When a name is resolved and more than one IP address is returned, this
|
|
function shuffles the order of all returned addresses so that they are used in
|
|
a random order. This is similar to the ordering behavior of the legacy
|
|
gethostbyname function which is no longer used on most platforms.
|
|
|
|
Addresses are not reshuffled if name resolution is completed using the DNS
|
|
cache. \fICURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT(3)\fP can be used together with this
|
|
option to reduce DNS cache timeout or disable caching entirely if frequent
|
|
reshuffling is needed.
|
|
|
|
Since the addresses returned are randomly reordered, the order is not in
|
|
accordance with RFC 3484 or any other deterministic order that may be
|
|
generated by the system's name resolution implementation. This may have
|
|
performance impacts and may cause IPv4 to be used before IPv6 or vice versa.
