Cortland, NY | E-mail example a bunch of crap Real email hosts should use their own caching DNS or use business grade DNS that doesn't do a redirect. I use OpenDNS redirects but my email system hits ATT DNS directly. Bounced emails take less than 30 seconds. |

| Just wait for AT&T to start doing redirects! |

Cortland, NY | Since I pay for this service I don't think they would start the redirect shenanigan. And if they do, TWC Biz Class DNS is clean. |

Bounced emails take less than 30 seconds. In my experience, any sizable sending or receiving domain should typically have DNS servers that are dedicated to their mail application. In no small part this is to ensure that enough DNS query capacity is available exclusively to support the mail flow. You wouldn't want DNS queries for web surfing traffic (or whatever) to cause DNS queries from the mail servers to take too long or to time out and fail. Smaller domains should use non-redirecting DNS IPs, as another poster pointed out above.

said by AstroBoy:Just wait for AT&T to start doing redirects! There is AT&T, and then there is AT&T. Are you referring to ATTIS? They are the AT&T residential Internet provider, comparable to Comcast. Or are you referring to the AT&T which provides hosting on a commercial basis. I can see the possibility for ATTIS to jump on this bandwagon, but not all of AT&T.

TWC does it and TWC Biz Class is TWC RR with just a different setting on the MAC address to prioritize your web traffic over the network (ie: business customers get their data faster than res customers). The DNS and everything else is the same.

Cortland, NY | TWC Biz does use different DNS - IIRc is ns1.biz.twc.rr.com and ns2.biz.twc.rr.com - these are not the same DNS servers home users gets. We also have Time Warner fiber which falls under Biz class Direct Access - and there is a whole nother set of DNS servers for that.
To the fella that asked about ATT - I was referring to the real ATT MIS servers - 12.127.16.67 and 12.127.17.71 |

Just noting that "AT&T Internet Services" and "AT&T Worldnet Services" are different divisions of the same corporation.
