[TriLUG] DNS Service recommendation

[Aaron Joyner via TriLUG]

In terms of some useful measurements of the performance of various
resolvers (including Route53, GCP, HE and others), you might find the
slides and video of my talk from a few years ago useful:
http://www.trilug.org/2013-10-10/dns
https://youtu.be/w39UYX_oizM?t=11m40s

It's not a perfect match to your question, as I was attempting to evaluate
the efficacy of a /secondary/ resolver, so I also measured how quickly and
effectively they update from a primary (eg. my instance of BIND, which I
have no intention of giving up any time soon).

Of course, don't take my word for it, make your own measurements from the
locations you care about:

... and in the interest of transparency, here's my raw data from my tests,
done in 2013:
