RE: ATT Uverse/DSL Network Engineer DNS question
Thanks for checking guys. I checked RIR registration and they have those 2 IPs registered in Texas. I have read that ATT uses anycast for name resolution for Uverse/DSL customers. I can only check from my account in Florida and the DNS query responses so far resolve as if I were in the Central United States because the recursive resolvers are registered in Texas, I as far as I can tell. I just need to know if these are the only DNS server IPs they hand out to their Uverse/DSL customers.

As these resolvers traverse and query your servers, they'll have different source IPs, depending on the regional resolver. Return differentiated DNS responses, based on that. --j I would recommend against looking at RIR registration data to determine IP location.
