Hi Yutaka, Our version is 9.1.1, we are using it as proxy to access our http/https server with permitted list. Each time when we add an IP address of our clients into that permitted list file (most are IP address, few is hostname), and reload/restart delegated, most time it takes several minutes, sometimes more than 10 minutes to finish. I checked the log file, it seems most time cost on gethostbyaddr, {R} SOA got for each IP address or hostname. The details are below, The command is $DELEGATED -P443 SERVER=https +=${DGROOT}/etc/delegate_https.cfg And the config file delegate_https.cfg is: DGPATH=/var/spool/delegate-nobody/etc:+ +=common.cfg STLS=fcl REMITTABLE=https MOUNT=/twsi http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/index.html host=-hostname.firstwave.com.au MOUNT=/twsi/ http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/index.html host=-hostname.firstwave.com.au MOUNT=/twsi/* http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/* host=-hostname.firstwave.com.au PERMIT=https:{127.0.0.1:8080}:+=permitted_ clients.cfg PERMIT=https:{xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080}:+=permitted_ clients.cfg permitted_clients.cfg is our permitted access list file, which contains our clients IP address or hostname (more than 95% are IP address).

Could you please tell me how to fix it so as to reload the permitted access list file more quickly? Looking forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, David
