DNS Queries Are Failing

[Sh4d0wHunt3rX]

I get this constantly at the end of the scan on my server, what should I do to fix this?

Most likely your DNS server is in the list of servers that massdns is using, so because of massdns you're being rate limited.

Decreasing dns.brute_threads would probably help.

On the dev side there are also a couple things we could do, like making sure your system's DNS servers are excluded from the nameservers wordlist.

Also, making that wordlist configurable.

Since I'm already working on DNS stuff, I'll see what I can do.

Fixes have been pushed to #1723.

This PR automatically removes your system's DNS servers from the resolver list used by massdns. It also lets you use a custom resolver list via dns.brute_nameservers.
