[AusNOG] Google launches alternative DNS resolver

[Matthew Moyle-Croft]

That just means we (the ISPs) get blamed for something else - unless 
someone clones their behaviour (GOOG ones do wierd things if you read 
about it).   Especially in a world where we at least have put a 
distributed resolver farm in that means all of our customers at within a 
ms or two plus their ADSL latency of a resolver on a super fast machine.

But, because most people don't understand DNS we still get blamed for 
caching their bad records.  (What do you mean I need to change the TTL?  
That's not my fault ... if I change to Google or OpenDNS it's okay so 
it's your fault.  <sigh>)
