[TriLUG] Griping about Time-Warner outage

[Boggs, Ted]

Doesn't using Google or OpenDNS break DNS-based  geo-targeting?  I know
Akamai, Netflix, etc. used to use your DNS server's address to determine
where you are located.  If you are using a DNS server far away
geographically, won't that add latency for connections to edge servers?
