if you want to use the fastest DNS Server try:

http://code.google.com/p/namebench/

DNS Servers

Download the small utility program Benchmark (not the same as Namebench) and have it test for the fastest DNS servers. It tests over 4,000 servers some of which may not be public or available.

If you decide to specify what DNS servers you want to use vs your ISP's default what you select now may not be the fastest fifteen minutes from now.

test it

namebench and DNS benchmark are the tests you should run.

I have found Google DNS at 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 is usually the best, but it can vary based on your ISP.

You might also improve your DNS speed by disabling "DNS proxy" or "DNS Masquerading" if your router is doing that in an attempt to be helpful (in reality home routers are really lousy at this, and some models are susceptible to attack) You can also run a DNS caching server inside your network, like Microsoft's DNS server service (can be added to all Server OS installations) or Simple DNS Plus - these can substantially reduce the number of packets for DNS resolution that would normally need to need to exit your network (and therefore take up Internet bandwidth or NAT sessions in your router).

Why not run your own DNS service then?

Personally I use Bind9 @ http://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/ for my Windows Machines.

I discovered that at night, Google DNS was fastest. However, during high traffic hours, OpenDNS has proven superior. I've since made the switch.

google DNS was also the fastest for me. But I had Problems with akamai Services. I read about that your DNS Server should always be in you country because of services like akamai. Google DNS is not in my country but open DNS is. So I switched to open DNS.

For years, for me, the fastest and most reliable are:

4.2.2.2 1st priority
8.8.8.8 2nd priority

The study/report and graphs say that the mean responses are 60mSec and more.
For me, DNS 4.2.2.2 (my fav), is always about 10-15mSec

I prefer DNSBench from grc.com. I question whether namebench has a conflict of interest.

In DNSBench, I recommend making a custom .cfg file with only the DNS servers you are interested in. It cuts down on the number of queries and speeds the benchmark up significantly. Then run it multiple times during different times of day (as you've done) and see how the various servers deviate from average. In my experience, the ISP's DNS is often fastest, but more susceptible to peak hour congestion. OpenDNS has a much tighter standard deviation over different times of day in my experience. In my area, Google's public DNS is usually much slower than the ISP and OpenDNS.
