Don't hold your breath. I used to work at Shaw years ago, and 4 days would be a massive improvement for them. :( Bypassing Shaw's DNS server by running one locally is what I have done for years now. Much better solution for me though it still sucks for anyone trying to access your site from Shaw. >I'm not taking issue with you stating that's how it is, I'm just saying > that's nutso. The Internet is changing constantly." Nicely written response btw. This sort of thing can easily spawn flame wars since people tend to already be upset and are ready to vent. Clarity in e-mail is a refreshing change. :) It is unfortunate but economics trumps everything else at the end of the day. Witness the eruption of the VOIP protection racket employed by an increasing number of ISPs. ISPs will increase the cache for as long as they can get away with it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEMZJnwRXgH3rKGfMRAtCDAJ4w6cSH/6MYP56omso7CNmAbm/R8wCfdHpo M/+xebNplUUrQpM1YBRhe1A= =Uagy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
