Re: Google weird routing?

Google maintains their own GeoIP database. If you peer with them and have access to the peering portal, you can correct 
the location yourself.
Otherwise they have a public form somewhere.

I would say that it says BOM at the start of the name, perhaps they

sending you to India?

Are you using a DNS service that uses ECS facing the various
CDN/Cloud
providers or a different one?


This is my thinking, too, however my recursive DNS servers are all on
the
same network as the systems trying to reach google, all of which are on
IP
space that I own and announced exclusively by AS 394102 here in the US.
I've also taken care to maintain as many geoip service entries as could
be
found/maintained, including maxmind's.  Where they would get the idea
that
my packets should go to India is beyond me.

not sure where you are starting from (really) .. can you provide a:

for me? My guess is that as Jared noted you got somehow looking like
you are in india to whatever does that magic :)


Google's coming back with bom* addresses; no idea why though.

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.google.com.         300     IN      A       172.217.26.228


Hoping someone over there can shed some light on why they are sending
my
packets on a world trip.  :)

Thanks,
Matt
