DNS Missing on Steam, Works on Blizzard

[Luke Puppo]

Describe the issue you are having

DNS requests on for Steam are all missing, for example:

[steam] 192.168.1.10 / - - - [03/Apr/2020:03:29:40 +0100] "GET /depot/381453/chunk/236e450c9f8c6e912911864a932b1e682883b29d HTTP/1.1" 200 601904 "-" "Valve/Steam HTTP Client 1.0" "MISS" "cache2-sea1.steamcontent.com" "-"
[steam] 192.168.1.10 / - - - [03/Apr/2020:03:29:40 +0100] "GET /depot/381453/chunk/2e816e711487f5c20266352f021c0756e5612793 HTTP/1.1" 200 821664 "-" "Valve/Steam HTTP Client 1.0" "MISS" "cache10-sea1.steamcontent.com" "-"

Yet it works just fine with Blizzard:

[blizzard] 192.168.1.10 / - - - [03/Apr/2020:03:31:06 +0100] "GET /tpr/ovw/data/5a/e8/5ae8dfc76841e20445914d0b50955ba5 HTTP/1.1" 206 266240 "-" "-" "HIT" "level3.blizzard.com" "bytes=1597440-1863679"
[blizzard] 192.168.1.10 / - - - [03/Apr/2020:03:31:06 +0100] "GET /tpr/ovw/data/5a/e8/5ae8dfc76841e20445914d0b50955ba5 HTTP/1.1" 206 266240 "-" "-" "HIT" "us.cdn.blizzard.com" "bytes=1863680-2129919"

How are you running the container(s)

I am running with sudo docker-compose up -d
Here is my .env

## See the "Settings" section in README.md for more details

## Set this to true if you're using a load balancer, or set it to false if you're using seperate IPs for each service.
## If you're using monolithic (the default), leave this set to true
USE_GENERIC_CACHE=true

## IP addresses that the lancache monolithic instance is reachable on
## Specify one or more IPs, space separated - these will be used when resolving DNS hostnames through lancachenet-dns. Multiple IPs can improve cache priming performance for some services (e.g. Steam)## IP Address that the lancache monolithic instance will run on
## Note: This setting only affects DNS, monolithic and sniproxy will still bind to all IPs by default
LANCACHE_IP=192.168.1.14 192.168.1.215 192.168.1.216 192.168.1.217

## IP address on the host that the DNS server should bind to
DNS_BIND_IP=192.168.1.14

## DNS Resolution for forwarded DNS lookups
UPSTREAM_DNS=1.1.1.1

## Storage path for the cached data
## Note that by default, this will be a folder relative to the docker-compose.yml file
CACHE_ROOT=./lancache

## Change this to customise the size of the memory cache (default 500m)
CACHE_MEM_SIZE=1000m

## Change this to customise the size of the disk cache (default 1000000m)
## If you have more storage, you'll likely want to increase this
## The cache server will prune content on a least-recently-used basis if it
## starts approaching this limit
CACHE_DISK_SIZE=1500000m

## Change this to limit the maximum age of cached content (default 3650d)
CACHE_MAX_AGE=3650d

Any ideas on why my cache is missing on all of the steam games but works perfectly for the blizzard games?

[Proto]

A miss indicates that the cache doesn't have the file and will fetch it from the internet. A hit means that the cache already had that file at the time of asking. It likely that the particular over watch file you caught there caused the cache to download a large file and handed out the slices as hits. Misses and hits are both indications its working.

[Luke Puppo]

Interesting. I had the game (Dota) already cached. There was no update to the game, and it still was not hitting any slices on the cache. I made sure with glasswire my dns was correctly configured, and looked on my router and saw it was using full bandwidth going out of local network.

[unspec]

Are you still having issues with this? Do subsequent attempts to download the same steam game (dota in this case) still not show any HITs?
