Google DNS and OpenDNS

[|tera|]

Based on the fact that it will resolve slower...being an international service.

Your ISP's DNS will more than likely be only one or two hops away, Google DNS on the other hand is 15 hops away (on my current connection).


All of that being said I've tested it with "seat of the pants" feel before and the difference generally is imperceptible.

So what is your argument? That I visit more international sites than local? I don't, neither does the company line I manage, it's more a case of 70% local and 30% international.

Therefore there is a speed increase by using a local DNS server. Or else my ISP would stick me on a international one and forego their own.

Dude what the **** are you on about?

I'm arguing FOR using a local DNS server....against an international one as the question by the OP stated.


It doesn't matter WHERE the traffic going, your DNS resolution will always be international because that's where your DNS server is. But this is irrelevant because as I've always said LOCAL is BETTER.

You need to read properly.

No need to tear your granny pantie's, I misread, you did as well in your reply to me. Such is life.
