  • So…things have been written about this. The biggest issue in Mexico is the space between cities.

    You move into one area and clear it out, anyone left leaves to join others in some other places and then you have to move the police force to wherever the new outbreak starts.

    It’s Guerilla Warfare. It’s not impossible to stop with force, but it takes a long time. The fastest way to stop the Cartels is by Supply Suffocation, either by product, or by banking.

    The trick here is that Cartels know this, and regularly rely on the law to prevent seizures of funds, and even recently have become money laundering operations for people wanting to traffic Chinese currency, so they are FLUSH with cash.

    So in this specific case, it’s like fighting the Mafia. You can greatly reduce their operations by taking out the leaders, seizure of asset or product, and removing enforcers in their organizations, but you’ll always be left with a small contingent that will continue operating in some capacity.

    The thing with Mexican Cartels is that they’ve strong armed themselves into legitimate businesses like agriculture (avocados are a big one), and it’s hard to find legal ways to prove that X business is funded by a Cartels when they are already laundering money. It could look like it comes from anywhere.

    It’s a cat and mouse game until the larger population feels empowered enough to report members, or fight back themselves.

    Switch those CNAME records to A records, clear your cache, then see how it works.

    I can promise you this is not a resolved issue. If it was, you’d be seeing posts like this everywhere. It’s behaving as it should.

    Your setup on the Firewalls is not what I would call a “standard” setup. There is both a proper DNS forwarded, AND what they are calling “DNS Filtering” at play with that service. I can’t see your record setup, but depending on which gives the defacto answers when you make a request, you may get conflicting responses, so I would just do away with any kind of non-A records in your setup and see what happens since their docs specifically say it’s only meant for those records and not CNAME or Alias.

    CNAME gives you no benefit to what you’re doing here anyway since you only have the couple machines and not MANY records pointing to various places or using named hosts requests or something.
