Incidently, before you setup your own recursive server, the big
problem I measure is that without a load of traffic, your latencies
are just terrible because nothing is in cache... I tested a
recursive cache on my rack and it wasn't great, so I looked into the
datacenter provided one and had the same kinds of latency issues
(first query slow, second is great, but I'm always doing "first
queries"...)<br>
<br>
Basically if you are the first person in the last 60 seconds to
lookup <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.yahoo.com">www.yahoo.com</a> then it's going around the world and will take
some time. If you have a busy enough cache then someone is paying
the penalty for you quite regularly and your responses look good. I
suspect you need really quite a LOT of traffic before your recursive
server gets decently warm... So my thought would be to use a big
upstream that you trust, unless you are "ISP sized"<br>
