If you really want to optimize your DNS server selection, run a benchmark. Here are a couple of messages from the BLU archives discussing benchmarking DNS: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.boston.discuss/37806/focus=37825 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.boston.discuss/37806/focus=37825 The next best thing is to run a local caching proxy, like Dnsmasq, and configure it with a list of DNS servers that includes your ISP's and the ones you've seen recommended here. Dnsmasq will periodically "speed test" the servers and pick the fastest. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
