Google Launches Alternative DNS Resolver

Google claims that its new alternative DNS resolver will speed up web browsing and make things more secure. Hit the link above if you are interested in trying it out*.


The average Internet user ends up performing hundreds of DNS lookups each day, and some complex pages require multiple DNS lookups before they start loading. This can slow down the browsing experience. Our research has shown that speed matters to Internet users, so over the past several months our engineers have been working to make improvements to our public DNS resolver to make users' web-surfing experiences faster, safer and more reliable. You can read about the specific technical improvements we've made in our product documentation and get installation instructions from our product website.
 
I already use OpenDNS. Once this is better established and there are some benches on it I may give it a shot.
