Re: Alternate DNS Servers???
I switched from Insight dns to Speakeasy in Chicago and I was able to tell a difference. 64.81.159.2 |

| Thanks Robby, I get very fast latency to that server. I'm switching over to it myself as well.
I see 17ms to the speakeasy server listed.
Here's the latency from my insight connection to the nameservers above. None come close to that latency.

| Just to check, I looked up some other speakeasy name servers to see if any others were as low latency as the one robby listed. Sadly, they're not. I'm going to be using the 17ms latency server for sure as my main forwarder as it's half the time of the best attbi. Maybe folks can post other fast nameservers ?
Remember, if you change your DNS to a server off the at&t network, there is no guarantee it will always work. If ever the other site decide they no longer want to forward queries for other IP blocks tat they don't own, the show's over.
