Re: New Outage Hits Comcast Subscribers

I have completely given up on relying on Comcast for dns service... For now I will continue to use them for "transit"

If they are unwilling to implement anycast dns then I cannot trust them... On my mac...

sudo vi /etc/hostconfig
DNSSERVER=-YES-
:wq

No wonder entrenched broadband ISPs are so against metro wifi...

people do that today.... unforunately they do it with 198.6.1.1 :(
Its called DHCP/PPP, both will auto-magically configure the correct DNS
for your current network connection. If your laptop changes IP addresses,
it should get new network configuration details for the current network.
