- mechanical_fish 17y agoDo you have any idea how confused I was the first time that happened? An absolutely terrible user experience.
- amalcon 17y agoThe other alternative is to just run your own instance of bind (or dnscache if that's what you prefer). CDN content will usually perform better, but non-CDN content will often lose a few ms because you usually won't have very much in cache. As a bonus, you can perform some stupid LAN tricks.
