Optimizing your DNS settings
#245101 - 01/31/11 01:15 AM


I discovered these two programs today and I've been fiddling around with the 3 static DNS entries on my router...

GRC's DNS Nameserver Performance Benchmark
http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

namebench Open-source DNS Benchmark Utility
http://code.google.com/p/namebench/

I'm in NJ, just outside of Philly and it looks like the three best DNS servers for my location are...

Primary: 8.8.4.4 - Google Public DNS-2
Secondary: 216.52.94.1 - Internap NYC US
Tertiary: 63.240.1.43 - AT&T EMS NYC2 US (CERFnet)

That's where I grew up. I was born in Camden and lived in Audubon until I was 18 before moving up here to New England. My grandfather founded the Metro Cab company and owned a Sunoco on the White Horse Pike in Audubon (until he died a few years ago). Most of my family's still in that area.

Heck yeah, those are fun to play with. I spent at least an hour running namebench on the results of GRC's DNSbench once (and that was fun to type in, lemme tell ya). The end results were at least one of Google's were fastest, so I just ended up setting Primary and Secondary to Google. (I'm sure you're shocked.)
