Today's news from NS1 on NetBox: NetBox Cloud - https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/24/ns1-brings-open-source-net...

Is there a way for teams with production Docker deployments to easily experiment with this kind of scanning on their own infra to understand their own situation? Maybe worth writin…

read part 1? ;)

We are using Grafana with OpenTSDB and loving it -- really looking forward to some of the 2.0 features and about to buy a bunch more TVs for big shiny Grafana dashboards in our NOC…

they are essentially the same thing -- both are "proprietary" names for the same feature, which is behind-the-scenes recursive CNAME chain lookups by the authoritative nameserver, …

you're correct about ALIAS (although practically, it doesn't matter: people are going to use the apex whether it's proper or not at this point). i'm more referring to other complex…

http://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-cname-flattening-rfc-... is a reasonable explanation. fundamentally a CNAME says "when you get queries for this name, go look at this other n…

good luck finding any major online property or infrastructure that isn't making use of some kind of proprietary syntactical dns sugar. it doesn't mean you can't span providers, but…

hi. i did not mean to spam or kick dnsimple, we know them and they are a great company and service. we are actively receiving inbound queries about this from folks asking for help,…

dns is less easily distributed when fancy features like ALIAS (which dnsimple is widely known for) are in the mix. and wide distribution isn't enough to win vs truly volumetric att…

Most of the time we don't actually operate switches of our own, and our setup is simple enough where we don't do a ton of automation around the config where we do. What we do autom…

A simple example might help. Imagine you have a node in California and a node in NY, and a user in NJ. Let's assume for now that geographic proximity is actually a good arbiter for…

Certainly a huge drop-off. There is a lot of noise out there -- a lot of "resolvers" doing very few queries, whether because they have very few users, or because they're one-off sp…

Er -- I should have said, that did more than 10 queries from among our sample.

Hi -- glad you like the post. /32s are individual DNS resolver IPs we observed in each country from among the sample we took (half a percent of the traffic we saw during a 24h peri…

Kris here. Thanks Chris for putting this together, it was a really fun set of questions. I think a lot of what makes NSONE different is the philosophy behind the tech. We're not a …

Disclosure: I work for NSONE. At 2M queries/mo our list pricing is $8 ( https://nsone.net/support/billing/ ). Indeed our Biz Plan is $200 -- but that includes 24/7 support, 25M que…
