    On quality drops how soon after the name has dropped does your DAC request have to be to stand a reasonable chance of catching the name ?

    Look for the other side (IMHO): how to send your email rather than reaction.

    Thanks for input guys.

    After major tweaks to script managed to get cycle of sending DAC request, receiving reply, analysing it and getting email off to Nominet down to around 3ms.

    Whether it'll make any difference to catching domains only time will tell, still major limiting factor is the relatively huge delay between each DAC queery.

    Mark.

    There is something wrong in your calculation. The maximum reaction time of dac only is 7 ms.

    Send me PM to discuss

    Clearly I'm not going to discuss my script or server config with another catcher, all I will say is that I'm seeing faster DAC response times than 7ms.:)
