to me the problem is one of time scale not population scale or network traffic.
in 1988 my health check (on a vax running ultrix, called gatekeeper.dec.com) was to ping SRI-NIC.ARPA, which was then at i think 10.0.0.73. eventually this stopped working, though that was unthinkable at the time. so i agree, health checks should be to ping something you own, even if it means paying for remote hosting. 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
