[gentoo-user] Updating pretty old system - portage fail, stage3 gcc also broken...

[gentoo-user] DNS testing

Hello, So I've been manually (hap-hazardly) testing a variety of dns servers by just listing them first in /etc/resolv.conf. There seems to be a bit of buzz about OpenDNS and some other dns servers as to speed and security. What (automated) tools do we have on gentoo to profile various dns
