No one reads RFC 1855 anymore. ;-) >> May be this is not the right forum to ask but I am asking this here because >> AKAMAI heavily depend on its HL-DNS and LL-DNS AND these DNS Servers answer >> the query based on some input it gets from BGP Routes. > > This list is for discussing BIND operations.

Here's a URL to get you started: > http://www.akamai.com/html/support/index.html +1 -- Send a query to the Akamai support folks, they are very knowledgeable and helpful. I know, they've helped me answer stupid questions on many occasions. It's almost rude to ask about their architecture on a somewhat unrelated public forum. http://www.akamai.com/dl/technical_publications/GloballyDistributedContentDe livery.pdf On a more "generic" note, the CNAME trick is often employed by people building GSLB architectures. We do the same for our internal implementation. It is usually administrative trickery (or creative thinking) to increase efficiency, e.g. Delegate a globally load balanced sub-domain to a set of GSLB devices (thousands in their case, our own implementation is not yet nearly as robust) and then CNAME as needed vs. delegating everything. -- Work is the curse of the drinking classes. -- Mike Romanoff _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
