Dear Users,
New line in stunnel 4.06 ChangeLog:
- Multiple connect=host:port options are allowed in a single service
section. Remote hosts are connected using round-robin algorithm.
What do you think?
Sounds cool :)
By the way, another suggestion from my practical experience: STunnel caches DNS query results, this is a bad idea when using services like dyndns.org... I've have numerous occasions where I had to whip out my command shell and net stop stunnel | net start stunnel to get the DNS resolution updated to reach my remote server on dynamic IP... Over here in germany, a lot of DSL lines have forced disconnect after 24 hrs online time (I heard that's due to the structure of their billing systems and can't be changed without dramatic amounts of work and money) so every time my remote computer gets disconnected, I have to restart STunnel here. I'd suggest to make DNS caching configurable. If the user wishes so, keep the cached DNS info, otherwise resolve host names each time a connection is established (or every xx minutes or whatever).
Best regards, Andre
