I have a customer that is waiting on a DNS update for his site to start working. He's bugging my guys constantly, so I promised him we'd call him the moment it "works." Currently, I'm checking his DNS server every few minutes manually. If I could automate this to alert me when it's updated, we could make the call and be done.
It was also worth the email because I'd like to be able to do this on a broader scale - I'm curious about how often some public DNS servers update. I could submit a change and time how long it takes each server I'm curious about to return the new data. I'm particularly interested in the difference in response time between 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8. -wes On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 10:07 AM, nathan w <[email protected]>wrote: > Why?
