Re: Why can't the UBRs do DNS?

That's a non existant problem. The nature of DNS is that it updates itself, there are thousands (or more) of DNS servers around the world. It would make sense (esp after the recent problems) for each of the main router centres to have it's own set of dns servers (like they already have their own proxy servers). That would make a loss of service due to ddos much less likely (or localised). Each proxy server could have it's local area dns server as it's primary, and another area as it's secondary.
