Interesting thought, tested for my own experience and I find that OpenDNS and Google offer much the same performance when tested using ping. However the one thing I can not test is the actualy turn-around of the server actually translating the hostname to the IP address.

The results show that using the BSNL server is faster in this case. However, there may be other instances where BSL DNS servers are not as fast. Then the next option should be the Google DNS server.

An article on changing your DNS servers without a mention of Namebench? Do some more research next time.

From their google code page:

“Are you a power-user with 5 minutes to spare? Do you want a faster internet experience?

Try out namebench. It hunts down the fastest DNS servers available for your computer to use. namebench runs a fair and thorough benchmark using your web browser history, tcpdump output, or standardized datasets in order to provide an individualized recommendation. namebench is completely free and does not modify your system in any way. This project began as a 20% project at Google.

namebench runs on Mac OS X, Windows, and UNIX, and is available with a graphical user interface as well as a command-line interface.”

But how do you know that the ping times will remain constant (or even proportional) over time? How much will they vary over the day, or over weeks to months, with load? And how stable is the infrastructure that gives rise to these numbers (i.e., how often are servers moved, networks re-routed, etc)?

Sorry if these are naive questions – I’ve been out of the network game for a *very* long time!

Off the top of my head I’m not sure of an easy way to messure nslookup results, prehaps this would have to be done using packet capturing (some python code you previously posted might be handy for this).

Really enjoy your blog, am learning Python at the moment and although not experienced in the subject do enjoy security/networking subject, and your blog is helping me gather new perspectives and learning new ideas. Thanks.
