// Package forward implements a forwarding proxy. It caches an upstream net.Conn for some time, so if the same // client returns the upstream's Conn will be precached. Depending on how you benchmark this looks to be // 50% faster than just openening a new connection for every client. It works with UDP and TCP and uses // inband healthchecking. package forward import ( "io" "strconv" "time" "github.com/coredns/coredns/request" "github.com/miekg/dns" "golang.org/x/net/context" ) func (p *Proxy) connect(ctx context.Context, state request.Request, forceTCP, metric bool) (*dns.Msg, error) { start := time.Now() proto := state.Proto() if forceTCP { proto = "tcp" } conn, cached, err := p.Dial(proto) if err != nil { return nil, err } // Set buffer size correctly for this client. conn.UDPSize = uint16(state.Size()) if conn.UDPSize < 512 { conn.UDPSize = 512 } conn.SetWriteDeadline(time.Now().Add(timeout)) if err := conn.WriteMsg(state.Req); err != nil { conn.Close() // not giving it back if err == io.EOF && cached { return nil, errCachedClosed } return nil, err } conn.SetReadDeadline(time.Now().Add(timeout)) ret, err := conn.ReadMsg() if err != nil { conn.Close() // not giving it back if err == io.EOF && cached { return nil, errCachedClosed } return nil, err } p.Yield(conn) if metric { rc, ok := dns.RcodeToString[ret.Rcode] if !ok { rc = strconv.Itoa(ret.Rcode) } RequestCount.WithLabelValues(p.addr).Add(1) RcodeCount.WithLabelValues(rc, p.addr).Add(1) RequestDuration.WithLabelValues(p.addr).Observe(time.Since(start).Seconds()) } return ret, nil }
