I have run recursive resolvers on more-or-less consumer-grade Internet connectivity for more than a decade. It works reasonably well, although adjusting the EDNS buffer size might be necessary, and some resolver hardening options result in so many UDP flows that NAT devices give up. But the only time I ran into persistent problems running my own resolver was when I still used a host in data center for VPN termination, and the data center operator blocked 53/UDP to the ISC.ORG name servers. _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list dns-operations@lists.dns-oarc.net https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
