At the time I was involved it did have an SLA, and was considered =
critical infrastructure for Genuitity customers. Once we started to =
deploy 4.2.2.1, we gave customers time to swap over, but we started =
turning off our existing DNS servers.=20
One reason we did it was that we kept having to deploy more servers, and =
getting customers to swing there hosts over to the new machines was all =
but impossible. With NetNews, and SMTP we used a Cisco Distributed =
Director. But we needed another solution for DNS.
