--- Comment #9 from Daniel Zahn <[email protected]> --- That is correct. It would be better if it was a CNAME for just wikipedia-lb.wikimedia.org. But all traffic that originates in Estonia would be sent to .esams. anyways, per GeoDNS setup: # Estonia 233 wikipedia-lb.esams dobson:/etc/powerdns/geomaps# cat wikipedia-lb.wikimedia.org So it just means all traffic to tartupeedia.ee coming from somewhere outside of Europe will be served by the Amsterdam caching center instead of the (possibly closer) US centers. And as Jeremy pointed out, in case esams would be down there would be no failover. http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/DNS#Geographic_DNS example www.wikipedia.org www.wikipedia.org is an alias for wikipedia-lb.wikimedia.org. wikipedia-lb.wikimedia.org is an alias for wikipedia-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org. in the zone file it looks like this: IN CNAME wikipedia-lb.wikimedia.org. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
