[AusNOG] Google DNS 8.8.8.8

[Andrew Cox]

Still makes it a pain if you're using multiple providers for a network
(office or home network with dual adsl feeds or 3G backups etc).
Can't use an ISP's DNS servers without statically routing each of them down
the relevant pipe (because everyone likes to block lookups from outside
their networks) which then breaks your access if that ADSL or 3G or Cable
link goes offline.

I know it's an edge case but having a single set of servers you can use
everywhere is (mostly) less of a headache in the long run. Obviously not in
the case of the google resolver thou ^_^

Can anyone shed any light on why there isn't more interest in anycast DNS
servers across ISP networks?

Have a super mega nice day.
