shieet. does every damn intermediate DNS in the world have a 15-second cache TTL for .com's or something?

but still, serving 746000000000/(24*60*60)=8634259 requests/s of very light plaintext only requires a server rack or two these days. not a whole datacenter. https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r23&tes...

so even with redundancy and onsite engineers around the clock, their margins are obscene.
