That drops the IPv6 lookups - you may be able to just disable IPv6 in your browser, but glad it helped a bit. Facebook is still going to load slowly due to 30 second TTL on the A record for www. and 10 minute TTL on inconsistent NS records. They are announcing a set of NS records from the .com TLD servers, then handing out completely different short-TTL NS records where the client needs to perform final lookups, then handing out a final record that expires in 30 seconds, so the client has to go do it all again.. the price of popularity and having to implement gss load balancing, I suppose.. -- Kind Regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
