Hi, Bill - The paper is worth reading."The paper also presents the results of trace-driven simulations that explore the effect of varying TTLs and varying degrees of cache sharing on DNS cache hit rates. "
emphasis on *trace-driven*. Now, you can argue whether or not their traces are representative (whatever that means) -- they used client DNS and TCP connection traces from MIT and KAIST, so it definitely has a .edu bias, iff there is a bias in DNS traffic for universities vs. "the real world", but to the extent that their traces represent what other groups of users might see, their evaluation seems accurate.
