Get Minimum Time for DNS Resolution
Problem Overview
- Simulate DNS resolution with a finite cache to compute the minimum time for each URL request.
- Input: cache_size, cache_time, server_time, and URLs array (n up to 1e5); Output: per-request times array.
- Cache starts empty and holds up to cache_size most recent URL-IP mappings; resolving from cache costs cache_time, from server costs server_time.
- Real-world context: browser DNS cache vs server lookups.
- From Walleye interviews; a DNS problem often used as a coding interview interview question.
