Hi Mich, Many thnks for raising ths DNS issue. It is quite an interesting topic given that local peering should be first before that traffic hits the gateways. For the benefit of listers and the tech community on this list, it would be informative to know how much effort it took, planning, projections to ensure that the DNS infrastructure comes home. I'm very sure that DNS gurus spent many months planning the localization. The admin issue is human factor that can be resolved over time with, I believe the primary objective has been met. Please tell us more. Rgds. On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 8:02 PM, Michuki Mwangi <michuki@swiftkenya.com> wrote:
Secondly KENIC went to alot of effort to have DNS Root-Server instances and .org, .COM/.NET instances locally.
Point being that the DNS infrastructure was implemented to reduce the overall dependence on International connectivity for locally hosted services/content. The use of the International free DNS servers tends to moot this intent.
Am definitely interested to hear why folks are changing.
Regards,
Mich.
