Less than genuine lookups? Even if all the world's DNS traffic came from Chrome, probe lookups are taking 50% of all root server traffic just to confirm NXDOMAIN over and over.
- tptacek 4y agoThe browser confirms it at startup and when DNS settings change, not "over and over"; the "over and over" comes from the fact that zillions of people use Chrome. Serving the zillions of people who actually use the Internet is the job of the root servers. If they wanted to serve a small number of requests, they could go be the authority server for zombo.com instead.
