Your time would've been better spent fixing your DNS servers, adding a second one for redundancy. If you told me you couldn't make DNS work in 1996, I would've laughed, figured you were just inexperienced. If you told me you couldn't make it work today, I'd ask HR to get the paperwork ready.

Wow.

You would choose a failure rate of nonzero over a failure rate of zero and threaten a coworker with an HR trip for disagreeing with you?

I'm so glad I don't work with you.

Ok. Let's go back to 1985 and use host files. Who wants to join me?
