OpenDNS just got a bit better again; they just have expanded their service to Amsterdam; making the coverage for OpenDNS in Europe even better. We can’t wait till they also extend to Asia where good DNS services are even more needed.
From the openDNS blog:
Two weeks ago I was in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, doing an installation and am happy to report that as of today, that site is online and serving production OpenDNS traffic.
One of the neat things about OpenDNS is that we use something called Anycast technology in how we run our network. That’s great for you — it means no matter where you are in the world, your DNS requests route through our closest datacenter. When we do maintenance, our routing topology ensures you will route to our next closest datacenter. It also means that when we bring up a new datacenter that is closer to you, your DNS requests will go to it.
