wow, I did not know that about llamas
It's interesting, right?
does anyone know what transits AWS uses?
I wouldn't be surprised if it's different per region
crap
my isp has started lying about nxdomain
that sucks
TW at my new place does the same
this I notice now because I'm trying to simplify my home net
not run my own resolver etc
do they block external port 53
no I can still go wherever
i am surprised more isp's don't transparently proxy dns
err i mean like capture port 53 traffic and force it to their nameservers
running your own resolver is generally a bid idea
bad
at least for home use
better than one that lies
yeh
maybe use 4.2.2.1/4.2.2.2 ?
I am now
(and my idiot access point reboots to change that for some reason)
YER AN IDIOT mkb_
have you run the dns benchmark?
some access points just proxy dns rather than caching
and can actually be more efficient going direct
there's a dns benchmark?
not that it matters much other than benchmarks
yeh
i'm trying to remmeber the name
I can believe that anyway
all I see on google is some windows software
it runs on linux and windows
it's python command line
on linux
though some isp resolvers are so overloaded
https://github.com/catap/namebench
it's cos i used python to find it quicker that i got git first i think :)
I'm limited by my cookie deletion
you can enter your own, or it knows some public ones
seems to defeat some of google's bubbling
there's also google dns but I don't want to give in to the google empire
google's dns can be weird here for where stuff comes from
like it'll point to out of region akamai etc
and yeh google is a bit scary now days
it's a slightly bad test, as it tests alexa top domains, which public access name servers are more likely to query
from arp opendns is fastest
are all of your VPS kernel unlocked?
kvm doesn't lock kernels
gotcha, alright
openvz is what seems to the biggest issue with kernels
as it's not full virtualisation
gotcha
