| Sep 30, 2014 at 14:05 | comment | added | Nils Toedtmann | Cool. And mentioning X will be enough to spare me the 'closed-as-dupe' fate? | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 14:01 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | @NilsToedtmann You immediately solve the XY Problem when you mention X (that bit about the 50%, local cache, and all that). This is exactly what we're talking about. When you mention X and Y we might know a better Y and write an answer about that, or maybe Y doesn't even solve X. When you only mention your Y and leave out the X then you'll miss out on the better solution. Also this tends to crop up with weird and outlandish "Y" solutions, where the proposed solution runs upstream to all "normal" configurations and is likely to cause it's own problems. | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 13:12 | comment | added | Nils Toedtmann | Ah, there we go ... What about speeding up connection start by 50% where there is no IPv4 anyway? Yes, a local DNS cache would help, but disabling AAAA even more so, in particular where upstream DNS is laggy. Assume that i'd (re-)enable AAAA when/where IPv6 is available. | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 12:57 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | If "Y" is "cause the resolver to not send AAAA queries" then "other reasons" are probably wrong too. :) | |
| Sep 30, 2014 at 12:54 | comment | added | Nils Toedtmann | I will do that. At the same time i want to allow people who try to implement Y for other reasons to find my question. | |
