    Are you using Google DNS?

    Sean(sobapets) told me about Google DNS last night, so I decided, hey, why don't I try it as well?

    Information on Google DNS:
    Google Public DNS is a recursive DNS resolver, similar to other publicly available services. We think it provides many benefits, including improved security, fast performance, and more valid results. See below for an overview of the technical enhancements we've implemented.
    Google Public DNS is not, however, any of the following:
    A top-level domain (TLD) name service. Google is not an operator of top-level domain servers (generic or country-code), such as Verisign.
    A DNS hosting or failover service. Google Public DNS is not a third-party DNS application service provider, such as DynDNS, that hosts authoritative records for other domains.
    An authoritative name service. Google Public DNS servers are not authoritative for any domain. Google maintains a set of other nameservers that are authoritative for domains it has registered, hosted at ns[1-4].google.com.
    A malware-blocking service. Google Public DNS does not perform blocking or filtering of any kind.
    Source: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/intro.html

    Are are you using Google DNS? Or are you still using your regular DNS servers?

    Neither. I use OpenDNS.
    Free Assange.
    Hey it'd be pretty cool if you helped promote VPL. I'm just saying.

    How long have you been using it? Do you find it to be the best?

    OpenDNS here. It's the best DNS I've ever used. Never had any issues and their CacheCheck feature makes sure I have the latest DNS information.
