i’ve subscribed to Linux Format for a while and a recent issue had an
article about a service i wanna let you folks in on:
a program named “namebench” runs from your machine and “hunts down
the fastest DNS servers available for your computer to use” which you
can then push into your network setup, and benefit substantial speed
increases while browsing…
why, because so many web sites today have pages with ads and photos
stored in other places and each of those require a DNS search to
fetch…it can easily take longer to get all the IPs for all the
different parts of a page than it takes for the browser to render the
page…
so, have a look if you wish: http://code.google.com/p/namebench/
it is drop dead easy to ‘install’ (though it is in a source.tgz it
doesn’t require compiling) and runs direct from wherever you want it
(that is, no ‘install’ is required)
it takes a little while to collect all the data it needs but then the
output is nice and easy to understand…
note: i am in no way associated with either namebench or google
