Once the client's DNS request has worked its way over to the primary DNS for the distributed web-servers, 3DNS has each of the other 3DNS boxes (located adjacent to the other distributed servers) ping the *clients* primary DNS. 3DNS then returns the URL for the web-server whose 3DNS machine is 'closest' (fewest hops) to the clients DNS machine.
you may want to seriously reread the previous sender's message. the point is that in the modern post-2182 world, many of the client's nameservers are vastly net.distant from the client. psg.com nameserver = DNS.LIBRARY.UCLA.EDU psg.com nameserver = RAIN.PSG.COM psg.com nameserver = ARIZONA.EDU it is best common practice. randy
