In stream mode nothing caches a negative result per IP, so the exact IP lookup misses on every legitimate request and each one fell through to GetCIDR, which probed every possible prefix length: 33 cache reads for an IPv4 client, 129 for an IPv6 one, even when no range decision existed at all. On the local cache that is wasted work on the request path; with redis it is 33 to 129 sequential round trips per request. Keep the set of prefix lengths that have at least one decision under a single key, written before the decision itself, and probe only those. Measured cache reads per request: 1 with no range decision (was 33 / 129), 2 with a single /24 in use, 4 with four prefix lengths in use. The set only grows, so a deleted or expired decision leaves a length behind that costs one extra read rather than risking an unmatched decision, and it is written with an effectively infinite duration since it has to outlive every decision it describes. If it is ever missing while decisions live (a redis eviction under maxmemory), range decisions stop matching until the next one arrives; it is the hottest key of the namespace, so an LRU policy evicts it last.
