bbtest shows long DNS runtime, why 🔗 link

It seems that hobbit resolves all clients via DNS:
  # hostnames resolved  :       40
Why that, I gave all names and it's corresponding IPs at the bb-hosts file?

If I look at the statistics of bbtest it looks like this:

What you see are two mystic things:

It seems that hobbit resolves all clients via DNS:
  # hostnames resolved  :       40
Why that, I gave all names and it's corresponding IPs at the bb-hosts file?

The DNS test runs about 5 seconds for only these 40 clients, maybe that is
because of the first issue:
  DNS lookups completed                    1221225973.283037
 5.001672

If you look at the graph, it gives very scary "triagle curves". I've put a
screenshot here: http://www.trektech.de/test/hobbitgraph.png
The thing seems to have started when I put the DNS keyword to my two DNS
servers. Before it gave a nearly zero line.

I want to add about 400 network switches which should only do a ping test
and I fear that this would extremely increase the runtime of the bbtest.
What can I do to decrease the runtime?

Add the "testip" flag to each host and Hobbit will not try to resolve the name.
 When you add the "dns" flag, Hobbit will test the DNS server on that host.
 You might also keep in mind that DNS results are usually cached by the resolver on each machine until they expire, and this happens at an operating system level.  However, Hobbit uses a specific DNS support package (perhaps to make the code more portable) -- I have seen it hang when the DNS servers are not exactly correct, so using "testip" is a good defence mechanism.

It seems that hobbit resolves all clients via DNS:     # hostnames resolved  :       40
Why that, I gave all names and it's corresponding IPs at the bb-hosts file?

www.google.com 208.69.36.230 #   <-- this will lookup www.google.com and ping the IP, if it can't find an A record for it then it will use the IP as a backup

www.google.com 208.69.36.230 #   testip <--- this will use the hostname for display purposes, no dns lookup and skip to using the IP for the conn test

I have the same triangular graphs on hotspot networks with multiple APs. This is normal, as far as I can tell.

Adding 400 hosts and 400 dns queries shouldn't cause too much of a load, though, if you're worried about the DNS queries taking out the DNS servers then just tack "testip" to the end of them.  The conn/ping test is awfully efficient, assuming you're using fping.

Are you using fping or hobbitping?

When you ran the configure script how did you answer the question about
the group that your webserver runs under?

When you ran the configure script how did you answer the question about
the group that your webserver runs under?

Ok, check to see what user Apache is running as.  Issue the command:

ps -ef | grep http

You should see something like this:

wwwrun   17153  1097  0 Sep14 ?        00:00:06 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

The first column (wwwrun in my case) is the user that the web server is
running under.  Then enter:

groups wwwrun

But substitute your first column for wwwrun, you will get something like
this:

wwwrun : www

www is the group name that the web server is running under.  That should be
the response to the question 'What group is your web server running under?'
(or how ever it's phrased).

  Read bb manpages

  bb recipient "drop hostname"

  where recipient = hobbitserver
  hostname = name of host you want to remove

and I fear that this would extremely increase the runtime of the bbtest.
What can I do to decrease the runtime?
