dns prefetch can be a big deal for sites that give a subdomain per user
Jul 10th: If your application uses getaddrinfo instead of gethostbyname (for IPv6), DNS round robin will not work. Urgh. Recently found this as the cause of our Java app only connecting to half of the hosts in our AWS ELB.
dns prefetch can be a big deal for sites that give a subdomain per user
i can never find the dnslint tool that i really liked, but the opendns cache tool is a bit useful
some guys i know had some DNS issues when they switched servers. turns out you need to open port 53 for TCP aswell as UDP. who knew? some details here
a couple of great articles on the issues involved with gslb. if anyone has any idea how akamai's freeflow/edgesuite claims to provide dc failover in around a minute i'd live to know - dns trickery or route convergence?
of course, someone has already set up a public portal and dns server to help you avoid the hard part of setting it up.
good news via salt: verisign to stop being so shit and update atlas once every 5 minutes instead of 12 hours.
