Re: Some more info on Goggle DNS & some speed tests said by ReVeLaTeD:In my mind, the client workstation should be the one doing the resolution to an IP. No server. Just part of the workstation's functionality. Same sort of concept as with virus protection software - the machine downloads a name resolution file each day. That would allow the client to, when attempting to reach a name that doesn't exist in the file, send back an instant prompt that it wasn't located, instead of having to attempt a contact first. There are at least two major problems with this:
1) No client machine is going to have terabytes of storage just for global DNS resolution.
2) DNS records are updated every second of every day, and responses can vary depending on the source IP of query.
That's sort of like suggesting instead of having search engines we should all store a copy of every bit of content available on the Internet on client workstations and perform searches on local disk.
I think if you do a bit of research into how DNS works you'll see that architecturally it's the best solution to the problem, though enhancements can still be made with regards to global load balancing enhancement and security. (ie, DNSSec and beyond)

said by ReVeLaTeD:(B) the inconvenience of other DNS providers with ads and invalid not found pages. Only when you mistype the domain. Put it in perspective: it's a mistyped domain -- you weren't going to get what you thought you were typing no matter what approach you use. |
