Alternate DNS Servers for testing purposes


Hey guys,

While testing or troubleshooting different issues, sometimes we'll need alternate DNS server other than the ISP's.

The most popular one is Google's : 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
Personally I'm using : 4.2.2.2 / 4.2.2.3

When comparing performance it'll be obvious that the ISP is the winner since the geographic location is closer from Google's - At least in my case (Israel).

Dennis.
