Booting an anycast DNS network

Since early January, our hosted DNS service LiveDNS has been hosted on an anycast platform more distributed than we could ever achieve before. We’ve been slowly migrating customers from our old infrastructure to the new one over the last few months and the service is now hosted on what we call internally “nanopops”. This allowed us to bring service to new locations we’ve never been before, especially places closer to our customers.
