[AusNOG] Google launches alternative DNS resolver

[Matthew Moyle-Croft]

I think it's a great idea if you're North America centric.

But, it'll add 150ms or more to most customers and it'll hurt the 
locality based services already in Australia.   So, performance in 
Australia will suck.  eg.  Akamai becomes 300ms+ vs 25-50ms depending on 
where you are.  Think how much traffic that means bringing in from O/S?

I think this is part of the war for access to customers.   Australia and 
other outliers are going to be the casualties in this war going on in 
North America.
