[AusNOG] Optus outage last night?

[Evan Dent]

It's a real tricky thing to get right. I can't give the right answer there.

One thing to remember that if you are not using your ISPs DNS server, you
may be subject to non optimal routing. For your home situation probably not
an issue but on your larger connections, it could be a issue. I have seen
traffic going overseas rather than going to the CDNs in Aus which has
amounted in reduced performance and increased costs.

 It's a catch 22 issue either way you try to deal with it all.

I too would love to hear input from others on this.

What's generally the best practice for setting home resolvers? I've
been bitten a few times with issues from using Exetel's DNS servers.
Would it be better to point hosts to a local cache and have that
forwarding to something like Google? Or maybe Google + OpenDNS?

Jason.
