Re: Re[2]: Back-up DNS?
Well I CAN see the point of these DNS services (free and paid).
Sure.. you can set up some additional servers in your datacenter or network,
but thats the point... it is CONNECTED to your own network!
Suppose your network dies... some router or switch blows. Then what? All the
additional 486s or Xeons behind your network will be rather pointless. Or a
power failure strikes (think of the brownouts/blackouts affecting california
now... i'm in HK so don't ask me for the details), then what?
However, if you have some servers on some OTHER network, at least they'll
still be up and running, right?
That is the main point of all this.
We at Zentek International Co. Limited (
http://www.zentek-international.com) have been looking for someone to
exchange DNS secondaries for a while, without success. We operate from Hong
Kong, so if you're in the US or anywhere else that is the ULTIMATE in
redundancy (half way around the world is as good as you get ;-) ). Email me
if you're interested :-)
