Hmm. That FAQ entry indicates that there are far few Google DNS servers deployed than I would have expected.

Anyway I bet that there would need to deploy fewer servers to get good CDN performance than one would think.

Drop one along side the YouTube mirrors that are already in every Comcast POP. IIRC, that gets you about 20% of USian Internet users, plus those ISPs which have reasonably decent routes to Comcast's networks. Drop one at every major and medium-sized university. That oughtta give you good geographic coverage.

shrug But what do I know? Not that much, that's for sure!
