Landed in Dubai today evening for MENOG 12. Interesting to see this part of world. 

Agenda for tomorrow here

Back in India after amazing APRICOT 2013 at Singapore. It was nice to stay in East Asia for a while and look around. :)

Anyways, issue for today - I have been using Airtel DNS servers from quite sometime since BSNL has crappy DNS while Google gives issues with Akamai while OpenDNS doesn’t has any node in India yet.  

Today I noticed a NXDOMAIN redirection for a non-working domain and later investigated. It seems like Airtel is hijacking on NXDOMAIN queries now.

In Singapore for APRICOT 2013 from last couple of days.

Very interesting event and a beautiful country. If anyone of the readers of this blog are around - I would be happy to meet!

A quick blog post on a interesting issue coming up due to combined problem of CDN failure on Google Public DNS and bad Akamai performance due to Tata-NTT peering issue.

I was trying Zembra mail since there’s no more free Google Apps edition and one of my friend asked me to basic email on his domain up. It was more or less a straight task by installing Zembra with decent GUI.

An interesting evening here in village. From today sessional tests started at college and so does my blog posts too (to keep myself with positive energy!) ;)

 

Learned something new while troubleshooting. :)

I am used to getting latency of ~350ms with my server in Europe as I have mentioned in my past blog posts.

My connection > Server goes direct but return path goes via US and this is what increases latency. Today all of sudden I saw latency of 200ms with my server. 150ms less - that’s significant.
