Juniper prefer to use Cisco DNS servers

Earlier this week I’ve grabbed an new Juniper SRX300 box to play around with. Checking the factory reset config showed some interesting things.

This was just good fun. The config contained this in the name-server section:

name-server {
 208.67.222.222;
 208.67.220.220;
 }
-------------
Lookup results for 208.67.222.222 from whois.lacnic.net server:

As can be seen above the first dns server belongs to open DNS. OpenDNS is owned by Cisco :)
