Cloudflare is joining the AS112 project to help the Internet deal with misdirected DNS queries

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has announced its participation in the AS112 project, becoming an operator of this community-operated anycast deployment of DNS servers that primarily answer reverse DNS lookup queries misdirected to the public Internet. The addition of Cloudflare's global network is expected to significantly improve the stability, reliability and performance of this distributed public service. The AS112 project aims to handle reverse DNS lookup queries for private-only use addresses that should never appear in the public DNS system.
