[Devil-Linux-discuss] Reliable DNS Servers

[Mike <Mi...@4a...>]

Just an FYI, I use openDNS.

I find thier servers faster then my ISPs. Redundant, they have just 2 
published IP's but they actually have 3 servers in each of 5 data 
centers that I know about ( London UK, Seattle, Palto Alto, NYC and 
Virginia ). Thier DNS servers respect the TLS on records, not like alot 
of ISP's who hard code 24 or 48 hours ( I know of a bunch that do this, 
like Rogers here in Canada ).

They also do some pretty cool stuff, like block phishing sites ( they 
own PhishTank ) and if you mistype an URL the servers will respond with 
a search page. And if your admining a large LAN you can also do domain 
blocking, XXX blocking and webproxy blocking.

The DNS server IPs are 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220

Take a look at: www.openDNS.com

I've used them since they started and have been extremely happy with 
them, every network I admin uses them now. They did have one outage over 
a year ago ( lasted about 2 hours), but that was due to a bot net DOS 
attack . They pissed them off since thier phishing sites were getting 
blocked. But they were on it fast and got it resolved as quickly as 
possible.
