The pool system already contains the DNS servers. So, that data should be available. That way we do need additional reports from individual servers that may or may not implement/enable the reporting. >> We could have a special flag that designates a server to be used in this >> situation, but for now I’m thinking to just use “specified netspeed is over >> X” >> as the flag indicating that you don’t mind extra queries from outside your >> country (or maybe even region). I would suggest you implement it using some 'Bulk' zone to/from which servers are added/removed if the speed is set (like the current 'global' zone). That way, you and your help team can manually adjust the 'Bulk setting' easily.
