Not generic.  You have to use the one they provide.  And they will not give to 
you unless you are doing some like 4tB per month.

I was not aware you could cache Netflix streams with a generic caching server.  
Not only due to DRM, but also Netflix app switches streams dynamically to match 
video quality to connection speed.  Plus first the customer authenticates to 
Netflix server, chooses what content to watch, etc.

Say a new movie is on Netflix.  Or latest season of cards.  Everyone is going 
to want to watch it.  So 1000 simultaneous backbone streams to Netflix vs 1000 
simultaneous streams to the caching server in your NOC.  I choose the latter.

I don’t understand how the caching server is going to help with CDNs.  
Actually, with so much Internet content now being either dynamic HTML or 
streaming, I wouldn’t think caching would be worth it, unless you are talking 
about something like a Netflix OpenConnect appliance.  Maybe you can cache 
software updates, I’m not sure about that.

Geographically close CDNs. I want to make sure we are getting content from 
Illinoisish rather than california for netflix, since all that matters is 
netflix

  For performance, look at queryperf which I think is provided by ISC/bind. 

  I'm not sure what you mean by "we are getting good CDNs and the like," though.

    Im bringing live our first caching server today. Is there a good tool for 
comparing queries between DNS servers. 
    Im not all that concerned about speed since we are so small there wont be a 
huge amount of benefit I would think. Im primarily wanting to make sure we are 
getting good CDNs and the like
