I ran a copy of DNSBench<\/a> to see how the new, shiny Google DNS servers compare to other alternatives that I have.<\/p>\n

The short answer — meh.<\/p>\n

The utility lists both the DNS servers I’m using (from Comcast, at home), and a variety of other available nameservers — including (once I added them) the Google DNS servers.<\/p>\n

The fastest nameserver for me is the Comcast one here in Denver (68.87.85.102). Huzzah!<\/p>\n

The alternative Comcast name server that I get assigned through DHCP (68.87.69.150) actually resides in Beaverton, OR, and is in the middle of the pack — with both the OpenDNS servers and the Google DNS servers.\u00a0 There are 24 DNS servers listed that are faster than the secondary one.<\/p>\n

On\u00a0 the other hand, Comcast is one of those Evil DNS companies that, if a bad domain comes up, routes you to one of their own search pages.\u00a0 That might be enough to convince me change.<\/p>\n

ThePlanet.com has a couple of DNS servers that are nearly as fast as the Comcast top one.\u00a0 I might consider shifting over to them.<\/p>\n

Or maybe not.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s how the Google DNS servers work for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
