No backoff for failed ServerKeyFetcher request #16368
Description
Description
My server tries to fetch a key from a remote server for federation. The connection if refused by the other server but synapse retries every few seconds (~6 retries per minute).
The logged message repeats every few seconds. i tried blocking the domain via firewall or dns entry but this only changes the message a bit (e.g. instead of connection refused I get dns lookup failed). I noticed the issue because the domain rsolabs.com is one of the top domains listed in my pihole. I suspect there is some sort of backoff required to stop this.

Something around this was fixed in the upcoming version (#16252), it could be worth seeing if this still an issue once you're on v1.93.0.
Ultimator14 commentedon Sep 23, 2023
I think i fixed the issue for now. The reason was another server that queried my server multiple times a second.
Since I did not have rate limiting enabled, this caused my server to answer every time. I still do not understand why it tried to fetch keys from the domain
rsolabs.combecause the requesting IP does not resolve to this domain. But after all this was just a reaction to another (probably misconfigured) server so it's probably not an issue with synapse.I blocked the requesting server now in my firewall and that works.
Thanks anyway.
