[AusNOG] Google launches alternative DNS resolver

[McDonald Richards]

I guess a fear is that the google fanboys out there will believe that this is speeding up their superwebs and will switch-over to them, pulling more locally available content from expensive transit sources. Maybe ISPs could avoid it by anycasting those IPs inside their own network and redirecting to the local nameservers? ;)

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.

Interesting. I wonder how this will impact content and caching engines that direct you based on the location – both logical and geographically -  of the name-server you used to query them!
