Google's new public DNS server is up and running and I'm pretty excited about it and their adherence to DNS standards. The network addresses, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 were bothering me, though. Where had I seen these before? A quick whois shows the following:
Level 3 Communications, Inc. LVLT-ORG-8-8 (NET-8-0-0-0-1)
8.0.0.0 - 8.255.255.255
Google Incorporated LVLT-GOOGL-1-8-8-8 (NET-8-8-8-0-1)
8.8.8.0 - 8.8.8.255
Yup. Level 3. I've set up many a BGP neighbor with them in the past and that's where I saw the 8.0.0.0 range in the past. It's cool that Google snagged 8.8.8.0/24 from Level 3, well not "snagged", but you know what I mean.
Now, the big question that matters only to me: what about IPv6 connectivity for public Google DNS?
