We know this isn't good engineering practice, because another national ISP with millions of subscribers configured their network the same way, and experienced a multi-hour service disruption affecting most of their users a couple of years ago when an error blocked access to their two caching-only, name servers.
You mean there are national ISPs out there, who have exactly 2 caching nameservers, as opposed to configure their clients with 2 IP addresses (perhaps always the same 2) which perform name resolution? Wow. Is this some sort of retro fashion?
Yes, there are. No, it's not fashion. Though it's about as foolish. Names avoided to prevent NDA lawsuits. You can fill in the blanks. -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com lucifer@lightbearer.com http://users.lightbearer.com/lucifer/
