cloudflare.com - finally a free and great DNS host!!
04 Oct 2010
Just moved all my domains DNS over to CloudFlare.com - finally a free and great DNS host!!
Not only does cloudflare provide dns hosting but they also provide free CDN services and also free protection from web spammers
Note: Cloudflare is from the guys behind projecthoneypot.org, so they really know web spam
Only a couple of minor issues:
- Cloudflare doesn’t auto import your google apps srv records
- Creating srv records via the web dns editor is painful
- Easiest option is to just download your zone file from cloudflare and add in the below records for SRV
Google Apps SRV records :: DNS
_jabber._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com
_jabber._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server4.l.google.com
_jabber._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server2.l.google.com
_jabber._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com
_jabber._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server3.l.google.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 5 0 5222 talk.l.google.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 50 0 5222 talk4.l.google.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 5 0 5222 talk1.l.google.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk3.l.google.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk2.l.google.com
_xmpp-server._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server4.l.google.com
_xmpp-server._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com
_xmpp-server._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server2.l.google.com
_xmpp-server._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com
_xmpp-server._tcp.@ 1 IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server3.l.google.co
- There need to be an easy way to create all the required dns records for Google Apps - just as editdns does
thanks @cloudflare !!!
