[AusNOG] Google DNS 8.8.8.8

[Matt S]

8.8.8.8 has never been anywhere but the US afaik. If you want a public DNS server to use 139.130.4.4 and 61.88.88.88 have always been good for me. (Telstra and Optus respectively).

I swear this used to be in Sydney, it was around 60ms away.  Wasn't it?  Now, from my home, every box I've got around Au and every Traceroute site I can find, it's showing up in California.
