ZA Domain Name Authority and Netnod Signs Agreement on Anycast DNS Services for .ZA

Stockholm and Johannesburg 2010-05-01. Netnod AB and .ZA Domain Name Authority (ZADNA) have signed an agreement for anycast DNS services for the .ZA DNS top-level domain (TLD)."By using anycast technology from Netnod, we will have better resiliency and redundancy for the .ZA domain name service, as well as better performance for end-users." says Vika Mpisane, GM of ZADNA. "The current agreement with Autonomica follows up on a similar agreement that Autonomica already has for co.za, which accounts for around 95% of .ZA domain names. This is good news for the stability of the .ZA namespace",
