I tried this. It was unnoticeable. I saved maybe 40 ms every request over Google's DNS so it was completely unnoticeable. Both Google's DNS and a caching name server (on the same LAN) were huge improvements over Airtel's stuff but the difference between the two was usually unnoticeable. With Airtel's DNS I would frequently be looking at time-outs quite frequently and when I wasn't the results were slow. -- Roshan George _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
