DNS and cached files

[Tony Abou-Assaleh]

Hi Robert,

To my knowledge, you can't really speed up updating caches world-wide at
the moment. There are improvements to DNS in the works that will make this
possible in the future, but from what I know it's not in effect yet.

BTW, how's the service with teksavvy? I'm thinking of getting a line.

Cheers,

TAA
