5/23    I'm at a friends house and the Internet is dog slow. But when checking
        speedtest or nitro.ucsc, it shows I'm getting 2.7Mbps. Latency is <30ms
        Any ideas why it is so slow or ways to check this?
        \_ Hmm, I added 4.2.2.2 as a DNS server and that seemed to fix it.

        \_ While I'm not ready to call it outright bullshit, I'm skeptical:
           * Most DNS operators with a clue set TTL values to cache records
             for 24 hours to one week.  The DNS notify mechanism leaves much
             to be desired.  Thus, changing a DNS pointer is unlikely to

1/21    I'm setting up my mac on a subnet @ school.  It doesn't recognize the
        other computers on the subnet without typing in the full address.
        How do I enable that?
        \_ that's a function of dns or whatever naming service you're using.
           it has nothing to do with machines being on the same subnet.
           for dns, if macos uses /etc/resolv.conf, edit that, or do the equiv.

8/9     Does the CSUA and/or the UCB nameservers cache results for
        far longer than the average nameserver?
        \_ To try to diffuse this, AFAIK the ucb nameservers use isc bind,
           and are RFC compliant.  They cache results according to the SOA
           of the domain in question.

4/8     If I set up a BIND nameserver for a domain that doesn't exist yet,
        and I use this nameserver in nslookup to query hostnames from
        this domain, will the nameserver recognize that it's (configured to be)
        authoritative for that domain and reply directly, or will it try
        to start from the root servers and work its way down (thus not
        succeeding in finding itself)? Thanks.

6/3     Can I tell internic a nameserver is at an ip address

           handle any number of domains.  Otherwise look at
           http://www.freedns.com ; update time (24hours) is a bit suck,

12/23   Is anyone here familiar with the bind 4.9.8 code? I'm trying
        to restrict the set of interfaces that named listens on (I
        have three interfaces and only want named listening on 2 of
        them). I've patched get_netconf in ns_main.c (among other files)
        to basically skip any interface that is not listed in named.boot.

10/24   My sshd used to accept connections from machines without matching

        fine, but the question remains, What changed?  There is no indication
