As a former provider of IT outsourcing services for companies in the 1 and 2 categories, I'd absolutely agree with your characterizations, and add that these types of organizations are extremely averse to IT spending. One simple tweak that I liked to do on the local Windows server domain name server was to configure the local ISP resolvers as forwarders so that lookups for CDN cached content would get to the "right" place. People usually commented "the Internet is much faster now." --Chris _______________________________________________ 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
