For each DNS, it then produces a report showing the averages speeds of resolveing URIs into IP addresses and the success rate (a percentage) of resolving. It also highlights those DNSes that redirect you to alternative sites (including domain registries) for unresolved URIs. I use this occasionally to update which DNSes I want my system to use. -- David E.

There are several of those. The problem with that kind of benchmarking is that you get a picture of what the situation is at the time you run the check. Things may be different in an hour or even less. Running one and then another immediately after will often produce somewhat different results. Larc |

Any better or worse than Open DNS? OpenDNS sends you to their website when a DNS lookup is blocked (I think,) that's OK since it might give you an option of going there anyway if you want to. I haven't tried because: OpenDNS also sends you to their stupid webpage if you mistype something, and I find that really annoying. I also cannot use my old hostname tool (I think all it does is use nslookup) with OpenDNS. If I recall, 9.9.9.9 will only return NXDOMAIN on blocked DNS entries, so you have to way to "continuing" to the website. I use this to get an option to keep going: 199.85.126.10 = Norton ConnectSafe5 public dns server 199.85.127.10 = Norton ConnectSafe5 public dns server Regards, -- ! _\|/_ Sylvain / !
