I'm wondering about nameserver config. Specifically, caching. It seems like my provider, road runner, hardly does any. For example, I repeatedly request the page news.google.com. I imagine many other hawaii customers do the same thing every day. Yet, this entry is not cached in their dns. Is this efficient for them, a policy, an error or just rude? Or do they have a caching name server I don't know about?
