So far, it doesn't seem to restrict the number of queries per second per host IP address. I've been testing googdns from my non-exit node, since my local provider intercepts NXDOMAIN. It is very fast to respond. I also like their stated data retention policy. Recording nothing would be better. This is not an endorsement, but I like a fast, pure dns server versus one that tries to protect me from the four horsement of the internet apocalypse. More testing remains. -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B Website: https://torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
