Here's the RFC wording: It is recommended that three servers be provided for most organisation level zones
Servers, not IP addresses. These days with load balancers and anycast addresses a company could have 100 DNS servers which look like one IP address from the outside. On 03/10/18 14:28, Rick Moen via luv-talk wrote:
I note that a depressingly large number of allegedly professional outsourced DNS providers violate the RFCs with dangerously thin nameservice, e.g.:
:r! whois baycon.org | grep "Name Server"
Name Server: NS1.BLUEHOST.COM Name Server: NS2.BLUEHOST.COM
There, friends, I present: Bluehost, Inc., a supposedly professional hosting company. And that is the sort of incompetence you all too frequently get when you outsource. They are using 2 DNS names (which happen to translate into 2 IP addresses). Do you know what technology (load balancers, anycast, etc) they are (not) using so you can substantiate your claim that are violating the RFC?
