Have you tried Google's DNS?

Some morning Google announced that they're now running a free DNS for everyone to use.

The IP addresses: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

Interesting and unexpected.

Why? Obviously they get a lot of data -- all the sites we're visiting.

Have you tried it? If not, why not?

If so, how is it? They say it's faster -- is it?

They say they won't screw with it. Do you believe them?

FYI: I'm using it here on my LAN. Just changed the configuration of my router, so all my machines will start using their DNS.


You may also like to try OpenDNS,

208.67.220.220

208.67.222.222


Level3 operates fast public DNS servers on easy to remember IPs:

4.2.2.1-6
