I have fooled my system to permanently use the local servers for all searching (modify your hosts file)
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts >>open with notepad and add the following lines to it, as this will change your DNS lookups to perma use local, Note however that the results will be returned, but if you do not have Int bandwidth some pages will not open

Thanks for the feedback so far - looks like all IS clients access Google.com/Google.co.za locally while others are still routed internationally.

Pada · Jun 15, 2010

It depends on the DNS server that you're using.

I've forced the following hostnames to the local IP address on my MikroTik RB750:

www.l.google.com
www.google.com
mail.google.com
chatenabled.mail.google.com

Now I can access Gmail on local cap

The 168.210.2.2 (IS DNS server) reports the local Google IP for www.google.co.za!

Our office is running on MWeb Business uncapped and it reported the international IP address, so we overrided the DNS entries on our router at the office too.

I see something very strange with some our DNS servers reporting the following:

Code:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;www.google.co.za.		IN	A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.google.co.za.	14201	IN	CNAME	www.google.com.
www.google.com.		307210	IN	CNAME	www.l.google.com.
www.l.google.com.	8	IN	A	64.233.179.104

Note, I left out the DNS server in question on purpose.
