On: How Does the New Google DNS Perform? (and Why?)

I picked DNS after performing this test

$tracert 8.8.8.8
$tracert 8.8.4.4
$tracert 4.2.2.4
$tracert 208.67.222.222

Re:Pointless hype

On: How Does the New Google DNS Perform? (and Why?)

switch to using 8.8.8.8, but I worry that if they do, one of the the original goals for DNS will be lost. That its distributed.

How does Google Public DNS know which data center to send me to?
Google Public DNS uses anycast routing to direct all packets to the closest DNS server. For more information on anycast routing, see the Wikipedia entry.

Re:Frist Psot!

On: Google May Limit Free News Access

If they're picky, they mightn't let hits from Google through but still allow the Google bot to index their pages. Change your User-Agent accordingly. In Firefox, go to about:config and change general.useragent.extra.firefox to Googlebot 2.1 and off you go (as Googlebot).

I'd not recommend this because it will make gmail impossible to use.
