One Easy Piece (and useful) from TechCrunch

(...) "Google launched its own DNS service last month, one of the main stated goals
behind the project was speed. The problem is that... G@tto... has no idea what a
DNS server is, let alone how to configure one, or test how fast it is". (...)

Thomas Stromberg, a Google engineer based in Belgium, created Namebench,
a piece of software to find the fastest DNS server available for you to use.
The program is available for OS X, Windows, and Linux, and the entire thing has
been open sourced by Stromberg.

I'm sure this is enough to give you a reason to redirect you toward TechCrunch...
who knows better !

Yours faithful G@tto
