Testing Google’s Public DNS

Announced on Dec 3rd, just a week ago, Google Public DNS service is still in testing/beta phase, so no SLA is available, but I’ve decided to give it a try. Google Public DNS uses Anycast to connect you to the closest DNS server, which in my case happens to be at ~42 msec away. Which is better than OpenDNS one at ~55 msec, but worse than Level 3 DNS 4.2.2.2 at ~36 msec. Right now I am using both Google Public DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as forwarders to see if any change in end-user experience would be noticeble. Will see.
