Hi, I have a hobby project running DNS service to people looking for NTP public servers. I noticed that the DNS servers apparently get ~5 thousand queries per day from IPs that the GeoIP database we use claim are in in Antarctica. It’s less than 0.0001% of the overall DNS queries,
My apologies for my sideline question, where did you get the number of the overall DNS queries? or just said a random number to the air? Thanks, Alejandro,
but it made me curious what it’d take to make the service work better there. I imagine the internet service is fragmented between the various stations with each being best connected to a particular country? Does anyone have contacts there that I could talk to? I imagine (some of?) the stations would have a local NTP service as part of their compute facilities. Ask
