Description
The domain name system, without which most Internet applications
don't work, depends on reliable access to DNS information. Failure
scenarios therefore exist where two Internet hosts may have
connectivity to each other, but can't communicate because they
lack a path to a DNS server in another location. A talk at last
May's NANOG touched on this problem in the general case. This talk
will look at the DNS in greater detail, and how the placement of
DNS servers for various top level domains affects their
reliability in different parts of the world.
