2004-07-13NIX.CZ the first DNS anycast mirror at Czech Republic

Anycast mirror DNS servers generate local copy of DNS servers to where be routed traffic at the region. Consequences of using anycast mirror of DNS are following:

- relieve of worldwide DNS structure
- boosts DNS (and Internet) performance across the region as a whole
- makes the DNS system (and the Internet) more resilient and stable
