IS GOOGLE OPEN DNS IS FASTER THAN YOUR ISP

DNS is the switchboard of the internet: Type in a text URL like www.mikkimax.blogspot.com, and it finds the numeric IP address to get you there. Google, which seems to be releasing something in just about every consumer-facing software category, has now entered this behind-the-scenes networking space with its new Google Public DNS. I set up a couple of PCs using Google Public DNS, both inside and outside our corporate network, to see if it offered any real advantages over a more traditional DNS system. The results were mixed, although Google DNS did offer some benefits that neither your default DNS server nor major free competitor OpenDNS does.
