Namebench - Benchmark DNS servers
-
http://code.google.com/p/namebench/[^] It tests relevant DNS servers for your locale, and reports on the relative speeds. It takes a few minutes to produce a report, but I can confirm it does seem to have speeded me up a bit. In my case it recommended Google Public DNS, and the instructions to switch to that are here: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using[^] - they can be used with just an IP address change if you decide to change DNS as well.

+5 It reported that my "current" DNS was the fastest. And that Paypal.com and Twitter are hijacked and pointing to some other server than the one I would expect. Great tool!
