DNS Servers...
Why Don't U PPL Use TreeWalk Instead...?
TreeWalk DNS is a Domain Name Server program which fetches and converts Web Site human-readable names into the numbered addresses your computer needs so that your browser, email, instant messenger, and FTP programs can surf the Web.
TreeWalk DNS requires virtually no support as it is generally an \"install it and forget it\" application. It really is that easy! However, we recognize that occasional configuration problems do occur so if you need help, please review our FAQ page to see if your problem is listed there. If that doesn't provide an answer for you, use the Forums page for information about our Forums and Newsgroups to look for the solution to your problem. Due to the simplicity of installing and running TreeWalk DNS, your query has probably been \"asked and answered\" already but feel free to join in anyway!

Thats' DNS RU Or DNS Research Utility
DNSRU (Domain Name System Research Utility) is freely distributed by Steve Gibson, and can be used to test your provider's DNS servers' speeds for comparison to localhost. Be sure to read the info within and visit the links to his site for more on DNSRU. Awesome! However, you'll need to select the program icon then press and hold the \"Shift\" key before double-clicking every time you want to run it, to by-pass the pre-configured expiration. Initially, you may need to double-click the selected icon a second time while depressing the Shift key if you do it this way. Another method is to hold down the Shift key, right-click the icon and select \"Open\". You'll be most interested in the Benchmark tab, and the Server selection capability which is available through clicking the DNSRU icon at the top left of the opened program. Remember, this is still an unfinished Research and Development tool, so some functions are not enabled.[/b]

Internally, all timing measurements are taken with sub-microsecond (839 nanosecond) resolution and maintained to six significant decimal places. They are rounded to three decimal places for presentation.
