Mate's queries cause Ratel imiting on AWS

[snoby]

Mate version 0.6.1 ( and prior versions) causes a lot of traffic while it polls route53. My AWS account has 53 hosted zones and in those zones there are 10's of records in them. Mate, even with filtering enabled, still queries these zones and causes route53 query outages while looking at the route53 console.

I have not yet dug into the code, but I'm wondering if it is possible to set the query period and to set mate up to only query / control a certain zone. Basically I need to massively reduce the amount of DNS traffic that mate does.

I will also mention that I have a specific IAM role setup for mate that gives him ChangeResourceRecordSets in two hosted zones, he is also allowed to getchange. He also has unlimited access to elasticloadbalancing...

Some logs to checkout :

Some suggested behavior:

• Ability to have mate listen to kubernetes api and listen for changes and act on those changes only.
• ability to have mate only query certain DNS hosted zones and at a specified rate.

Thoughts?
