      Let's figure out the best option for domain name services as of October 2023.

      I did some cursory Googling but found stuff that I'm not looking for (maps of the web and traceroutes hooked up to GeoIP lookups).

I'm interested in the topography of the internet itself - not physically where hops are located.
