Currently the 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 are thousands of DNS servers which also have other ip addresses that are given out by various coffee shops and other devices. The same with the 1.1.1.1 and probably a dozen other single IP servers. > To an extend in bandwidth, you could send out parallel queries and > check, if they match or if someone has tampered > with them. Would be a nice sideeffect. This breaks down for multiple reasons. I do a parallel query and I get two different answers.. it isn't because they are tampered with but because the DNS server got a GEOIP regional address and so each server got one that was closest. However this also leads to consolidation because a lot of DNS servers aren't spec'd to dealing with more traffic than local DNS. Getting lots of outside traffic ends up causing problems and links. So instead you get a deal with Google/CloudFare/Akamai/etc to put in a DNS server which they then offer to the public for a bit and you mostly. Tada.. person on the internet thinks they spread out and aren't tracked but are just as much as before. > > best regards, > Marius > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
