Yes, thank you! This idea of "propagation" is a pet-peeve of mine. It's a widespread misconception and hopefully more people will see this post since understanding how DNS works is important foundational knowledge.
- wang_li 5y agoThis is a type of common HN post. Where the person posting is going over well known knowledge. Others that are similar are "I wrote a compiler." and "I made a emulator." Usually they are subsets of the problem space and sometimes quite often don't demonstrate any expert knowledge of the subject. Perfectly fine personal projects, but hard to understand why they're worth blogging about. And FWIW, DNS absolutely propagates in a push fashion in circumstances where people are running large DNS installations with multiple authoritative servers.
