[AusNOG] Google launches alternative DNS resolver

[Nick Brown]

The majority of Australia's ISP's make their recursive nameservers  
public, implement caching and follow the RFC's - perhaps we should all  
be hitting up Computerworld for an article.

Looking at this from an operational perspective, it is going to also  
result in us needing to adjust and rethink support processes as its no  
longer just Little Johny's torrents slowing down MaPa's connection,  
its going to be MaPa themselves reading how great Google DNS is on news.com.au 
, implementing the change, and then getting upset when everything  
slows right down.

Nick.
