Google are implementing this service via Anycast. So if they are peering with you in .ug, .ke, .za, e.t.c., it won't be that far away from you. IMHO, unless your ISP runs a really bad DNS service, or if your own DNS server is not up to snuff, I wouldn't switch my resolver to Google's anytime (soon). I'd be more keen to get a root name server in my local exchange point. Cheers, Mark.
