Where is DNS measured first?

From Santiago (SCL) toward Bogotá. A global average is not an SLO for letter D.

How fast is rollback for d-03?

The runbook is a command plus a named owner. There is no wait for a weekly change freeze.

DNS: rollback in Santiago (SCL) · D-54

Runbook D-54 for DNS in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-d-cac480f8ab11. This page covers rollback 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 headers D-09

Headers for d-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. DNS debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.

DNS timeouts D-10

Timeouts on d-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. DNS in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.

DNS regions D-11

Region names on d-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. DNS dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.

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.
