The DNs is a semi heiracrchical system from my understanding. The master DNS ( to use a phrase loosely) are based in the states. My provider in the states is on the main backbone. Therefore changes get sent out much more rapidly and from a centrally located place, not from a little backwater like NZ.
If I change a DNS here in NZ, it is like injecting an agent into tip of a whales tail. It takes along time to propogate through the system. If I inject into the heart it is sent out a lot more quickly and spreads like a ripple from the centre of the pond, not from the edge. (some very mixed similes here). I amy be wrong....
