I suppose they opt for really short TTLs for faster failover if needed?

- toast0 4y agoYeah, that's the idea, but then there's stuff like this: forums.adobe.com. 5 IN CNAME forum-redirects.trafficmanager.net. forum-redirects.trafficmanager.net. 60 IN CNAME encoderfuncus.azurewebsites.net. encoderfuncus.azurewebsites.net. 30 IN CNAME waws-prod-mwh-007.sip.azurewebsites.windows.net. waws-prod-mwh-007.sip.azurewebsites.windows.net. 1800 IN CNAME waws-prod-mwh-007.cloudapp.net. waws-prod-mwh-007.cloudapp.net. 60 IN A 52.175.254.10 On a totally cold lookup, that takes at least 13 queries to load, because of the long CNAME chain, and azurewebsites.windows.net is sub-delegated with NS (with 5 minute ttl). That's a lot of back and forth to chase, and then much of it needs to be redone if someone comes back soon.
