thank you, Aki, I will use pdns-recursor to implement a feature in my company, so I have to be familiar with the source code to master it.

If a slow one at the back has no opportunity to be choosed, how pdns know it become fast. I can not find the source code make pdns query the slow one.

If a slow dns at the back of t_sstorage->nsSpeeds map, it will be erased because of rarely to be queried, and only fast dns server will have its speed updated by this code " t_sstorage->nsSpeeds[*tns].submit(*remoteIP, lwr.d_usec, &d_now);” at syncres.cc:1003 (http://syncres.cc:1003).
