Google seems to be broadening their service provisioning with the introduction of a “Public DNS service”.
If it’s true DNS plays an essential role in the internet, it’s also true it introduces already a significant overhead. Google considers the service can be improved and therefore launches its approach, which they claim it’s faster, more secure and needs no redirection (less resolving jumps).
Details on performance are available at the google page: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/performance.html
I’m temped to give it a try. Free, simple to try (and remember). Just point your dns server addresses to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Feedback is encouraged! :)
