When the relay starts our Internet goes down. Its more like some
DNS problem but i cant point the finger on it. The connection is
still there but he need a lot of time to resolve the names.
Is this a overkill for our router?
My first question is, what kind of router are you using, and does the
problem go away (for a short time or a long time) if you reset the
router? I am assuming a consumer-type router.
Sometimes a lot of connections can overload consumer routers, this has
definitely happened to mine with both Tor and Bittorrent.
* The router can become overloaded and respond slowly or drop packets
* The connection table can fill up, allowing existing connections to
work fine, but new connections fail intermittently (web pages half
load, DNS gets weird, etc)
