gee joe, what part of 'prior to passing off to local caching app', and 
millions of requests didn't you get?
(also note, i understood they were wanting to build a new system, not 
use dns, as it was *only* the example)

everytime you make a dns request, i agreed that it does not hit the root 
servers, but every time you request a NON-cached one you DO.

so maybe your call center calls the same people every other day.  

ours do not, and i'm just guessing here, but i have to think that others 
here don't call the same people over and over and over millions of times 
within minutes/hours/days. 

yeah, you are right, i have no clue what i am talking about.

don't you just hate when someone puts and apple in with the oranges, 
especially a rotten one. <G>
