For those that don't know this, if you want to know which cluster you're hitting, you can run:

$ dig o-o.myaddr.l.google.com -t txt +short @8.8.8.8
"172.253.192.142"
"edns0-client-subnet x.x.x.0/24"

That will return the ipv4/ipv6 address of the server that handled your request.  To get a list of what subnets map to which locations (airport codes), you can run:

$ dig -t TXT +short locations.publicdns.goog. @8.8.8.8

snip... "172.253.192.0/24 cbf ..snip

cbf = Council Bluffs, IA

And, more importantly, 'Google DNS' -- specifically Google customer resolver DNS, the stuff they provide at 8.8.8.8 -- is generally IP anycast, so depending on your geographic and network location, you are hitting different servers when you go to that IP.

        Getting reports of issues with Google DNS. Can anyone confirm
        similar issues?


    When you say "reports of issues", can you be any more specific?
    Unable to ping the address?
    Not getting any answers?
    Getting answers without the AD bit?
    Getting slow answers?
    Getting wrong answers?
    Only answering over TCP/UDP/<something>?
    Only getting answers to some types of queries?
    Some set of names not resolving (if so, which?)?
    Older names in cache?
    A name was changed and it doesn't seem to be picked up yet?

    "issues" is a very broad term...
