Multiple same-aliased hosts. Attn: Barry M

[Glen Jarret]

Hi Barry,

Thanks once again. I shall take the plunge and see what happens (which will
be measured by the (nocturnally batched) resolved names of visitors).

Surely their ISP will run its own DNS and use the nearest upstream DNS as
its secondary? Expense is not a consideration, my client is a multi-national
travel group. I suffer from hereditary perfectionism and want to minimise
the gap between clicking and rendering of the page.

Anyone using a sub-optimally located DNS (geographically or in terms of
network topology) would be nuts, surely?

BTW, I really appreciate your advice. I am constantly courted by consulting
firms who can't shut up about what they want to sell me long enough to
answer these questions.

Regards,
Glen.
