Is that still spitting out a vif plug failure or are your instances spawning but not getting addresses? I've found that adding in the no-ping option to dnsmasq lowers load significantly, but can be dangerous if you've got potentially conflicting sources of address allocation. While it doesn't address the below bug report specifically, it may breathe some more CPU cycles into dnsmasq so it can handle other items better.<br><br><br>R<br><br>CA<br><br><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>On Oct 2, 2019, 12:41, fsbiz@yahoo.com < fsbiz@yahoo.com> wrote:<blockquote class="protonmail_quote"><br><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"><head><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings><o:AllowPNG/><o:PixelsPerInch>96</o:PixelsPerInch></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--></head><body><div class="ydp95e21200yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><div></div>
