a DNS oriented approach can be feasible in many situations.
yup. unfortunately the hack is not a good net citizen (some folk don't appreciate packets thrown at their servers), and some versions are not very accurate (as the server for foo.bar may be quite net.far from the host foo.bar).
I have DNS servers in Singapore and Germany for hosts in California (and vice versa). I do this so the next time NorCal has a major power outage, or Taiwan has an earthquake, that I do not lose my DNS in major sections or internet space! Checking the path to my DNS servers tells you NOTHING about the path to my hosts. RGDS GARY --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary E.
