[Jenkins-infra] Proposal - Switch to cloudflare for dns

 Hey everyone,

With last weeks various outages around updates/mirrors, I got to thinking
about using cdn for some of this data.

As far as I can tell, https://github.com/jenkins-infra/bind is the repo
used for all the current DNS? I suspect thats not true cause jenkins.io
isn't listed

Assuming the repo is the source of truth, there's really nothing
complicated going on with DNS, no split views or anything like that.

The cloudflare cdn would allow for updates to still be run independently,
but take the brunt of the load

I also found out they do open source sponsorships, so while the free tier
probably works fine, but
https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-open-source-your-upgrade-is-on-the-house/
says they'll upgrade the account for open source projects, which gives
better access control and such.

I don't know if its feasible but thought it was worth looking into.
