DNSMASQ fork for improving --ipsets, --server, and --address performance

Dnsmasq matches domain names for --ipsets, --server, and --address options by iterates over linked list. It is good enough for general use, but slows down as the domain names to be matched grows.

Here introduce a modified dnsmasq for fast lookup ipset/server/address options. The match time is constant regardless the size of rules.

The lookup steps over domain name hierarchy top-down. All labels are stored in open addressing hash tables. Sub-level labels that belong to different parent nodes are stored separately. e.g. yahoo, google, and twitter are in one hash table, while debian and freebsd are in another.

The hash table size is power of 2, two hash functions are used to compute hash bucket. For locating a particular label from hash table, two hash values are compared first, only if they are match, should the more expensive string comparison be used to confirm the search.

Example usage

Use DNS blackhole to block malware site:

address=/example.com/

Force google DNS as upstream server for special domain:

server=/example.com/8.8.8.8

Add all IPs of a paticular domain to IPSET:

ipset=/example.com/example-ipset
