DNS: docs in Miami (MIA) · D-36

xserv-d-04ed7b8fe66a

Runbook D-36 for DNS in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-d-04ed7b8fe66a. This page covers docs for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

DNS: A note on cost and transit

Rollback for d-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while DNS prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.

DNS: Why it matters on this continent

Design for DNS on letter D starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook d-01 keeps a single owner, a written rollback, and a traffic split that can be reversed without a global freeze. Neighbors in Santiago only take overflow after the local pool fails a health window.

DNS: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for DNS (d-02) leave Santiago every 15s toward Bogotá. XServ pages the named owner if loss or RTT crosses the letter budget. A probe never shares a queue with bulk transfers, so a saturated WAN does not hide a dead PoP.

DNS docs D-12

Public docs for letter D stay aligned with identifier xserv-d-pack. Page d-12 is the DNS slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.

DNS design D-01

Design for DNS on letter D starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook d-01 keeps a single owner, a written rollback, and a traffic split that can be reversed without a global freeze. Neighbors in Santiago only take overflow after the local pool fails a health window.

DNS probe D-02

Probes for DNS (d-02) leave Santiago every 15s toward Bogotá. XServ pages the named owner if loss or RTT crosses the letter budget. A probe never shares a queue with bulk transfers, so a saturated WAN does not hide a dead PoP.

DNS policy D-03

Policy for DNS is versioned as d-03. Operators measure error rate, p95 from Bogotá, and time-to-rollback — not a worldwide average. Changes land in Bogotá first, then Miami, with a hold if either region regresses.

Is transit the default path?
No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
Does DNS on letter D share fate with other letters?
The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for DNS stay isolated, so incident d-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
