AT&T Uverse/DSL Network Engineer DNS question

2013-02-05 Thread Tim Haak









Hi,




Can a AT&T Uverse/DSL Network Engineer answer a question about the DNS
server IPs that are handed out to customers please? I am currently testing from
a Florida IP. Can you please let me know if all Uverse and DSL customers
across the United States only use these 2 IPs as their primary and secondary
DNS servers?

 

68.94.156.1

68.94.157.1

 

We
provide services based on IP GEO-location. Since the 2 recursive resolvers
below are registered in Texas every DNS query for any of our records return
results that are intended for IPs in that region. In other words, users on the
east coast would actually resolve to a central part of the US or west coast IP.

 

Thanks
in advance,Tim

Thanks for checking guys. I checked RIR registration and they have those 2 IPs 
registered in 
Texas. I have read that AT&T uses anycast for name resolution for 
Uverse/DSL customers. I can only check from my account in Florida and 
the DNS query responses so far resolve as if I were in the Central 
United States because the recursive resolvers are registered in Texas, I
 as far as I can tell. 

I just need to know if these are the only DNS server IPs they hand out to their 
Uverse/DSL customers.

Thanks,
Tim Haak
