No, I've altered DNS and seen many thousands of connections continuing from these providers even after low value (300) TTL records have been changed several hours previously. I've observed this on a number of occasions. In the case of Virg

Two examples I've seen recently are Road Runner in the US and Virgin Media in the UK. There are many, many more.

The main issue with using DNS for failover is that the name servers of many major ISPs don't respect TTL values, particularly those under 3600 seconds. As such, when a failover occurs a site will be unavailable for many viewers for several

Part of the reason small size keys like this are in common use is that bind (and possibly other name daemons) doesn't allow records larger than 255 characters. DKIM requires one to put the public key in DNS. Earlier this week I set up DKIM

I think they swapped my account onto the old servers Gabe was on, because whilst mine was fast when I read the article, suddenly it's very slow (as in, 30 seconds to send an email slow). I'd love to use Google Apps for my business, all empl

I'm not sure the hardware is so custom - the pictures on the Clustrix site look very much like generic Supermicro x86 servers with a Clustrix logo stuck on them.

That's not quite what it says - the one that wasn't covered by the most recent audit isn't a candidate for removal until 1/1/2012 at the earliest. The other certificate is completely unknown. This thread gives more context: http://groups.

There's a good chance $30 pricing will be at least half as popular as $10.

SystemTap is great for general system issues, but isn't nearly as good when trying to look at issues that occur inside the JVM.

Solaris zones are awful, and a good example of where Linux is far superior to Solaris. The creators of Zones seemed to have user-mode-Linux as their model, and it shares most of the annoyances of that too. It's not virtualization, and it'

Yup, DTrace and ZFS are pretty much the only things Solaris brings to the table above what Linux offers. Interestingly I've never come across any pure Solaris shops that run ZFS, I suppose because if you're conservative enough only to use S

A couple of points for those thinking about doing something similar: "Since InnoDB stores the table in the primary key, I decided that rather than use an auto_increment column, I'd cover several columns with the primary key to guarantee uni

Shame the Android app is Android 2.0+ only, which means I'm unable to try it with my Hero, at least for the moment.

Will be interesting to see how this compare to the current king-of-caches, Varnish. The plugin architecture looks like it'll make it pretty flexible, but it'll have to be pretty special to beat Varnish in terms of performance.

I get spurious error messages about the clock being incorrect on some sites - it will say it's in the future, but the time reported looks correct to me.

My first thoughts on reading this were that it was super-cool. Then I thought about customers who could benefit from it (we provide Linux consultancy to a number of medium-large enterprises), and I pretty much drew a blank. If you're lar

If you're using Varnish for caching then it's also possible to serve 'stale' cache entries whilst the upgrade is being done. I have a few customers that use this when doing schema changes. Obviously, this relies on cached data being useful
