I'd like to know of any networks (primarily providers) on here whose customer-facing DNS recursion servers either (1) don't recurse directly to the authoritative roots, instead deferring to the upstream's DNS; or (2) are often not "nearby", geographically, to clients. For (2), transcontinental or intercontinental indirect recursion configurations are of particular interest. I'm trying to gather some information for research regarding today's DNS recursion, and how close (geographically) the last hop of recursion, before the authoritative answer, is to the original requestor. -- -- Todd Vierling <tv@duh.org> <tv@pobox.com>
