I think the 'problem' actually lies with the Google CDN, not Telstra.
Although to be fair, it's working from limited information and it can't
be right all the time, at least your getting AU servers. We recently
moved a clients DNS resolvers to a PI assignment and we started getting
US servers, even though they peered at pipe. I digress...<br>
<br>To check the resolver address google is seeing your network from try
dig <a href="http://o-o.myaddr.1.google.com/" target="_blank">o-o.myaddr.1.google.com</a>
txt<br><br>Send the output of the above to <a href="mailto:noc@google.com" target="_blank">noc@google.com</a> who
should be able to modify the map for your address and redirect you to
the cluster you prefer or come up with some other way of automagically
fixing it - might take a while though.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 2:31 PM, Phillip Britt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:phil@wideband.net.au">phil@wideband.net.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>
