Time to move to Google DNS

If you have been using OpenDNS, I would recommend you check out Google Public DNS

As web pages become more complex and include more resources from multiple origin domains, clients need to perform multiple DNS lookups to render a single page. The average Internet user performs hundreds of DNS lookups each day, slowing down his or her browsing experience. As the web continues to grow, greater load is placed on existing DNS infrastructure.

Since Google’s search engine already crawls the web on a daily basis and in the process resolves and caches DNS information, we wanted to leverage our technology to experiment with new ways of addressing some of the existing DNS challenges around performance and security.

Google Promises good Performance, Security and Correct Results. Correct Results here refer to the practice of redirecting the user to an alternate page when the domain was not found (like OpenDNS does). Google has provided an extensive guide to help users start using their DNS service.
