Subject: Re: Dr Horrible DNS geekery
Really odd if so, internally (cox) and externally (google) I seem to
resolve the cox address, so wonder if his bgp advertisement is just
going away somehow to go to a different place, mine again just ends in
Cox's network, seemingly at the right endpoint, but not the routed
tale-by-hostname-resolution.

I get annoyed enough with Cox and their DNS interception/redirection for
search queries, I certainly hope they're not picking who delivers
content, especially when it's not the right location, but seems dns is
right. I think someone is changing the records, you might have a cached
entry.

It's interesting what he's doing to accomplish that actually, I'll
imagine he is a network geek with a GNS3 lab bridged to the world,
having a chain of routers with ip unnumbered interfaces passing it to
each loopback along the way as he did. I just figured his laptop or
workstation running dns3 reboots periodically unable to deal with real
traffic hitting it like that.

You can do interesting things with routing labs like that, just nothing
you'd ever do in a real network.
