Hey gang, I’m considering using DNS4EU in Canada. My ping to their servers is ~130ms. That’s way longer than anything local which is on the order of 1-5ms. Apart from resolving uncached entries taking longer, is there any contraindication to using a DNS server with high latency?

    And that’s not even letting on that literally ALL DNS queries work from cache unless you are specifically doing a live query.

    None of your software is. It’s asking your OS. Your OS is asking your resolver service. Your resolver service is asking your router. Your router is 5000% caching DNS queries.
