mudmanc4 Posted March 5, 2013 CID Share Posted March 5, 2013 All the great talk about cloudflare rousted me to give it a shot. I'm not bashing them yet trying to get a grip on serving the content I need to serve, when it is requested. The content I have rarely changes aside from constant additions. This is an image based site, so bandwidth is off the charts compared to anything else I have going. Granted at the moment I only have a percentage of files available (14GB out of 6 TB), yet since last week when changing to CF DNS the sites been slammed with crawler bots by the thousands ( which is a good thing -- if it settles in soon after fetching everything.) All the while the uniques have dropped off drastically. Visitors are greeted by this lovely CF page ~ I'm aware that cloudflare likes to be the authoritative DNS due to changing the hosts IP , as this is little more than a threat detection service which has changed into a CDN. However since caching locally files of this size is not an option a CDN is necessary, as is availability, which is not happening. At least at this point. So before I get into an issue with CF's DNS and their means, I'm going to add a slave DNS, or the host's DNS , anyone see an issue with this ? Or have done something of the sort ?
