Re: Distributel DNS servers dropping UDP

said by cp8:

Duh? My point was that there is an excessive amount of loss. A reliable link should have less than 1%. I'm seeing much more than that.

Source? I stand by my points made above. Or, use another DNS server for your queries...

You are absolutely correct Nitzguy, UDP is connectionless, TCP requires ack packets or it will re-transmit.

I have no idea why a DNS server would drop UDP packets, but yeah, use a different DNS server

Ok, so my 10+ year old knowledge stands....I was surprised I remembered this stuff...

Exactly, I don't use my own ISPs DNS and seem to do just fine with 4.2.2.1 as primary and 8.8.4.4 as secondary...

Way to state a point but completely miss what the real issue is. Your point is worth -2 cents.
