Here's a shell script to compare DNS times, you can easily see how to add/replace domains or DNS IPs:

------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh
for i in " lifehacker.com " " facebook.com " " manu-j.com "  " reddit.com " " tb4.fr " " bbc.co.uk "
do
for j in "4.2.2.2" "8.8.8.8" "8.8.4.4" "208.67.222.222"
do
echo $j $i `dig @$j $i | grep Query | awk -F ":" '{print $2}'`
done
done

-----------------------------------

By the way, if we're collecting a list of DNS servers on the web, don't forget OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

There are a couple of easy to remember DNS servers on hte web that have been around a while.

These are Verizon:

4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6

These are UUnet:

198.6.1.1
198.6.1.2


Remember to be kind and put in your ISP's servers once you have your issue(s) resolved.

Hey all,

I thought I'd post this here for those interested,

Google Public DNS:

Google's doing a nice public DNS.  It's out of the Google Code/Google Open Source division, so maybe it'll be competing with OpenDNS.

For, the greatest part is the IPs:
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
I can remember those :-)

Cheers,
~Alex
