"Colocated with large ISPs so you get some good protection against cache poisoning attacks" Ah yes, that's not something I factored into my equation. Thanks!

- count 17y agoAmazon IS a large ISP though...
- andrewvc 17y agoYep, they are, to all the tenants in AWS datacenters. My apartment however currently only can talk to Time Warner which talks to Level 3 and then, finally Amazon. I believe what the parent meant was that UltraDNS is colo'd with end-user ISPs like Time Warner, Verizon, etc.
- newhouseb 17y agoRight, a lot of DNS attacks rely on the attacker replying to a request faster than the actual DNS server and there's no one closer to the end user than ISPs.
