<span style="color:#1F497D">First, thanks for translating “Deepak” for everyone. </span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Second, I was in the back of a car, so I didn’t have a convenient dig prompt. I considered it, but went for it anyway. I’ll blame
the time of day and a lack of caffeine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">You’ll see from the time stamps that these were done in rapid succession at a command prompt. Even though I used 8.8.8.8, I can replicate
the results with a single recursive server. I just wanted something easy for anyone to replicate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">[deleted the dig information, for giggles run:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">dig @8.8.8.8 s3.amazonaws.com a few times in rapid succession.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The TLDR is that I got this set of IPs. With more runs, I might get more. There is an obvious operational impact here, say AWS is
doing Geo-based load balancing and spitting things out, and networks with eyeballs are doing their own things for traffic management and trying to do shortest paths to things – and responsible operators want to minimize the non-desirable and non-deterministic
behaviors. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The question is how are they spitting out 1 IP from their pool programmatically? There are a lot of reasons why someone may want
this… particularly to manage *<b>other</b>* people geo-basing their transport, but is this a local hack or is this a feature of one of the major auth-DNS packages. If its local hackery, trying to manage for it becomes a thankless activity. If there is a standard
or published method, then the feedback loop stuff can be curtailed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
