Why not just use a bunch of domains?




Thursday, September 23, 2010
DNS Querying
Thursday, September 23, 2010
Ideal? 1 domain many threads




Thursday, September 23, 2010
Option 1: SPDY




Thursday, September 23, 2010
Good: Multi-thread TCP connections
                        Bad: Only works on Chrome




Thursday, September 23, 2010
Option 2: Do horrible things to DNS




Thursday, September 23, 2010
Good: Works now
                               Bad: Might have to violate RFCs




Thursday, September 23, 2010
Option 2a - Mucking about with C names




Thursday, September 23, 2010
CNAMES are hosts which
                               are aliases of other hosts




Thursday, September 23, 2010
ajax1.hackerhouse.org.        1800   IN   CNAME   ajax2.hackerhouse.
 ajax2.hackerhouse.org.        1800   IN   CNAME   ajax3.hackerhouse.
 ajax3.hackerhouse.org.        1800   IN   CNAME   ajax4.hackerhouse.
 ajax4.hackerhouse.org.        1800   IN   CNAME   ajax5.hackerhouse.
 ajax5.hackerhouse.org.        1800   IN   CNAME   ajax.hackerhouse.
 ajax.hackerhouse.org.         1800   IN   A       127.0.0.1




Thursday, September 23, 2010
We now have 6 hostnames




Thursday, September 23, 2010
Good: 6 hostnames
                                 Bad: Inflexible




Thursday, September 23, 2010
Option 2b - Doing weird things with RRs




Thursday, September 23, 2010
RR is the section of a DNS response which
              contains the HOST records

Thursday, September 23, 2010
