Re: It's sad...
I use Comcast as the Primary and 4.2.2.2 as the secondary.
I never noticed any outage since most of my page requests were already cached in XP and anything new went to the Secondary. There may have been a slight delay while waiting a second or two for the Comcast DNS request to time out.
It's generally not a good idea to use someone elses DNS server as your Primary as it's putting an extra unanticipated load on them. When they do their requirements forcasting they only use their own customer base in the equation, they're not considering the load of a few million extra requests coming from the Comcast network. What could end up happening if the load gets to be too much is the other DNS host could block requests from anyone not on their network, that would be a bad thing. |

Is there some reason why you use Verizon's LA DNS servers (besides the fact that Comcast's DNS Servers don't work)?
Why not other Comcast DNS servers they might have? |

I just use 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, and 4.2.2.3, I haven't used Comcast's DNS servers for at least 2 years or so. |
