This issue will be (is?) solved with the "Client IP information in DNS requests " DNS extension[1]. A year ago, David Ulevitch (OpenDNS's owner) mentions in HN post that he already got it working for all Google properties and few other CDNs (except Akamai).[2]

- omh 14y agoIs there a technical reason why Akamai don't support this yet? It seems that it would be in their interests to improve this. Both for a better experience for users and lower latencies from their point of view. Or is it just that they're big, and it's a complex change?
- acdha 14y agoMy guess is that they're not receiving strong demand from their major customers - since they have so many massive users and a long-term code-base it makes sense that they'd be rather conservative.
