>Isp's and enterprises have been anycasting and/or centralizing their internal recursive dns servers for decades now.<br>>anyone who assumes similarity of network locale or geo locale between the dns forwarder and the later tcp initiator<br>
>is being (statistically) silly.<br><br>Oh please, you've been spouting this nonsense for decades now. It did indeed used to be broken in this way, but (most) ISP's have since fixed their issues. You're claiming that companies like Akamai and Limelight have no business case whatsoever*; the facts disagree with you. Patrick asked you for the data to back up your claim, you haven't given it. I have that data. You're wrong. 85-90% of resolvers are located near their customer base. <br>
<br>> google has no responsibility to warn anybody that such assumptions are silly. <br><br>When they are claiming that they are 'making the web faster,' when they are in fact making it slower, I believe they do.<br>
