HostDB

The HostDB component of Traffic Server manages origin server name resolution and host health checks. The statistics documented here can help to ensure that your Traffic Server instances are not spending an unreasonable amount of timing resolving your origin servers’ hostnames prior to object revalidation or retrieval.
