yes. when round robin was conceived, the idea of outsourced recursive dns was even more unthinkable than it is today, and the impact of a single operator's round robin behaviour (or lack of same) was seen as negligible. now that we're putting so many eggs into so few baskets, global internet traffic can be shaped in any of them. running one's own recursive dns, by the way, is as easy as ever. and it allows a network operator to control for themselves not only round robin behaviour but also dnssec and other new feature implementation schedule. and now that we've got DNS RPZ it's possible to have the "safety" features like non-resolution of malicious domain names, that have up to now been "selling points" for outsourced (centralized) recursive dns. paul _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
