Comment on Is the moon too far for your data? IBM's Red Hat is teaming up with Axiom Space to send a data center into space
Nothing would stop you from running a DNS server on Mars and handling requests locally.
The problem isn’t the DNS requests. It’s the data synchronization that would have to occur if you were accessing a service hosted on Earth.
There are many places on Earth where DNS servers have high latency, low bandwidth, and intermittent connectivity, yet still function fine. It’s already a solved problem.
It’s called caching and it’s been mostly solved for decades (except invalidation).
