Is there any difference between which address you list first in your DNS list (1.0.0.1 and 1.1.1.1)? I saw a suggestion to list 1.0.0.1 first since it likely gets much less traffic.
- arghwhat 9y agoI believe they point to the same network of servers, making it exactly the same. Having two IP addresses is just custom, and makes users resilient to address issues affecting one of the addresses. It also might help APNIC establish how much of the traffic to 1.1.1.1 is due to Cloudflare running a popular public DNS service, vs. how much is due to the address by subtracting the 1.0.0.1 traffic from the 1.1.1.1 data.
