To the question of "Do I use google DNS" (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) the answer is "yes", but only for personal use. I've never had issues with it though, and when I've done ping tests to explore latency issues, the google dns servers have never been more than a few ms slower than my ISP's DNS, and sometimes they are faster. I've wondered why google offers free dns - I'm guessing they are logging every name they resolve and building pictures of "popularity, etc..." I wonder if it eventually feeds into their search algorithm page ranks. -Rob -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
