Exactly. Also, I think OpenDNS is in the process of adding servers in India. That should definitely improve their performance for users in the subcontinent.

I think it depends on how close you are to the servers as to how quick they will be for you.
I’m gonna stick with opendns for now as they are good at protecting you from malicious web sites.

Please do let me know how your test went. Over here Google was badly outperformed. In fact I have seen many bloggers reporting that OpenDNS is faster than Google Public DNS.

Finally, a software to benchmark DNS servers.

I have an inkling that Google Public DNS might just outperform everybody.

Lifehacker suggested a software called Namebench which does the same thing, should compare their results and see if there is any differrence! .-= SriramÂ´s last blog ..The Old Astronomer =-.
