Abstract

In this work we measure what percentage of DNS recursive
resolvers perform negative caching in the wild. We deploy
our own authoritative name server and harness thousands
of RIPE Atlas [3] sites spread over the globe to perform
repeated DNS queries for non-existing sub-domains of our
authoritative domain.
