Part of this problem is authoritative dns server operators not sharding their zones.

The only provider I know who does this correctly is AWS Route 53. Your zone gets assigned 4 unique authoritative servers from a set of namespaced shards. eg ns-2048.awsdns-64.com

Someone else can create a zone for the same domain but will map to different shard so no real world effect.

Always surprising to me that hardly any providers do it.



Azure DNS does the same.
