Search Again: Re: Moving dns off site From: Aaron Lynch Date: Friday, December 17, 2004 Time: 11:15:04 am You connection speed should decrease for people on the east coast. Most of the delay in looking up a website is because of the time it taks to do lookups, not the actual connection to the webserver. And so for people on the east coast, those lookups should be shorter. And should stay the same for westies. The 'connection' speed is not really the same thing as latentcy, Which is what people tend to percieve as the 'speed' of a site. If your site transfers files at 100 Mbits a second, but it takes 45 sec to make the initial connection ppl will perceive it as 'slow' On 12/17/04 10:51 AM, jimsheffer mashed the following keys : > Hi all- > > We have servers in 2 locations.
