I can imagine, that it is a realistic scenario for the US, but not in the rest of the free world. I.e. here in Germany, you find static ips, which would be mandatory for a public dns cache, or did you mean public as in "public places"? , mainly in companies and they won't share theire bandwidth for a public dns cache. Some private people and organizations run free open dns caches on science centers, but thats about it. That google (or anyone else) gave them money to redirect to i.e. 8.8.8.8 is hard to believe. Concerns about privacy + google/facebook/younameit are wide spread in europe, which is totally different in the us, as far as I heard. best regards, Marius _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
