143% Faster than your current primary DNS server<p>Yep, that'll do me ! I'm use dnrd <a href="http://dnrd.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://dnrd.sourceforge.net/</a> caching DNS<p>So I plugged in the fatsest three servers from the returned list and ran it again : 399% Faster than your current primary DNS server<p>dnrd is slowing me down !<p>I did some tweaking and got it better but still dnrd using the fastest servers is slower overall but I guess it's not getting to do any caching.<p>Also namebench identifies errors and hijacking so fully recommended.
