Hi
Firstly this isn't a cache it's part of the google cluster and saying MTN

or UTL nodes and it's not yet time for that.However if ISP's want to test it
we can just do that in our DNS's :-)

The more the nodes in a cluster the better (Best design practice) they're
the 2 operators with the best links (assumption :-)))
