Hi all
This is a heads up that we are planning on rolling out GeoDNS for
www.php.net this week!
For now only www.php.net will be in GeoDNS (not "php.net").
The new mirror-test script updates the geo records hourly which
registers our known country mirrors for that particular geo zone.
We might later on improve this by registering mirrors also for certain
continents - so lookups from countries where we don't have a mirror
will at least be answered from that continent.
You are encouraged to verify you get accurate results already by
executing the following:
$ dig +short @geo1.easydns.com www.php.net
This should return a cname to a mirror in the country the server is located in.
Keep in mind, we usually have several mirrors per-country so you may
need to run this a few times to get your own mirror.
When we go live, you can verify the same with just:
$ dig +short www.php.net
I'll send a final note once we've made the final changes to trigger
this process.
If you experience any issues with this, please let me know.
-Hannes
