Irresponsible? I don't think so...
Furthermore, this type of hint is irresponsible in that it causes extra, unnecessary load on the auhoritative name servers on the internet because that's the point of caching nameservers upstream, instead of every single computer running its own name service cache.
I thought that the directions given made use of your ISP's (caching) DNS servers rather than going directly to the "root" authoritative servers. Thus if the ISP has it cached, you would get that info. Otherwise, what was the point of editing the files to include the ISP's DNS addresses?
Irresponsible? I don't think so...
i stand corrected, i didn't look too deeply into his instructions, just saw him starting up bind to be used locally.. but if you're still depending mostly on your isp's dns servers, then this hint is pretty useless since they're likely the weakest part of the lookup chain. |
