So ive been looking into open dns server, trying to find the fastest ones. Second part is to find one that doesnt screw with my dns querys, at all. I love OpenDNS for work, mainly to block out whole groups of sites.
So heres a few lists. http://www.dnsserverlist.org/ http://www.tech-faq.com/public-dns-servers.shtml http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/ happycow ~ # tracepath 128.107.241.185 1: 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 0.072ms pmtu 1500 1: 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 1.029ms 1: 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 0.940ms 2: L1100.LSANCA-VFTTP-131.verizon-gni.net (173.60.219.1) 3.563ms asymm 3 3: G5-0-6-1131.LSANCA-LCR-11.verizon-gni.net (130.81.138.104) 6.802ms 4: so-4-3-0-0.LAX01-BB-RTR1.verizon-gni.net (130.81.29.244) 9.037ms asymm 10 5: 0.so-6-2-0.XT1.LAX7.ALTER.NET (152.63.112.45) 8.357ms asymm 11 6: 0.so-1-3-0.XL1.SJC1.ALTER.NET (152.63.15.166) 31.011ms asymm 13 7: POS6-0.GW5.SJC1.ALTER.NET (152.63.54.17) 19.609ms asymm 13 8: cisco-sjc-gw.customer.alter.net (157.130.198.78) 24.804ms asymm 14 9: sjck-dmzbb-gw1.cisco.com (128.107.239.5) 23.532ms asymm 15 10: sjck-dmzdc-gw1-gig5-1.cisco.com (128.107.224.65) 25.683ms asymm 16 11: no reply Yes Cisco, avg 19ms dns query.
