Re: DNS Servers

So I still use the same dns server in phoenix and dallas they had when
they took over from @home/work, 68.2.16.30 and 68.1.208.30. These were
old farm vips of e220 solaris boxen that served from the dark days, and
remain (hopefully as not those same slowaris boxen) somewhat unhampered
as so much internal stuff uses them too. Sort of like their old
green-screen terminal crm they still use internally...

I specifically don't use their dhcp-fed servers, as those are
intercepted for their ridiculous cox search page. I somewhat take
offense to it actually, I consider it a man in the middle attack. Those
old vip's don't do that.

Otherwise, you feed google's analytics engines with dns queries. Pick
your evil marketing engine doing creative business intelligence
analystics against your search queries. Sadly I'm always searching
google, so I might as well feed them my dns too, but I don't.
