====== DNS Policies ======

  * ns1 Atlanta, GA
  * ns2 Hanover, NJ
  * ns3 Richardson, TX
  * ns4 Freemont, CA
  * ns5 London, UK
  * ns6 UK (mine - dedicated DNS)
  * ns7 Bengaluru (mine, also Kuma)


==== US-focused operations ====

  * ns4 (Fremont) - West Coast
  * ns1 (Atlanta) - East Coast

Perfect 2-server minimum setup for US coverage

==== US + Europe operations ====

  * ns4 (Fremont) - West Coast US
  * ns1 (Atlanta) - East Coast US
  * ns6 (Frankfurt) - Central Europe

Good 3-server setup covering both continents

==== Global operations ====

  * ns4 (Fremont) - West Coast US & Pacific
  * ns1 (Atlanta) - East Coast US
  * ns6 (UK) - UK
  * ns7 (Bengaluru) - Asia/India

Optimal 4-server setup for global coverage

The other servers (Hanover, Richardson, London) become less critical because:

  * Hanover overlaps with Atlanta
  * Richardson overlaps with both US coasts
  * London is less optimal than Frankfurt for Europe

This approach maximizes coverage while keeping the nameserver count manageable.
