Does no one seem to understand that there is a downside is on using DNS?
The clients need to resolve each DNS entry before the server can get
queried, this takes time, not to mention that DNS servers might have
defense mechanisms at work such as throttling the amount of incoming
requests from one user.
Thats right, DNS has a kind of "defense mechanism" against multiple
queries from a single user - its called caching and it works great...
plus it would eliminate all the people asking for a lower update
interval of the IP, as they could easily set whatever TTL they wanted
for their records.
But I guess Valve did their own thing because they wanted an
all-integrated solution so the less tech-savvy server ops wouldnt have
to bother setting up DNS.
