How to test your DNS ?

There is an easy way to test your DNS

1)Open CMD and type this Command: prompt $t

That changes the DOS prompt to the current time, we will need this to calculate the time it takes to execute any DOS command

2) Now run This command : nslookup www.google.com 125.22.47.125

Where 208.67.222.222 is the standard IP address of OpenDNS server,  8.8.8.8  is the standard IP address of  Google Public DNS

You can find the time takes to resolve the address by calculating the difference between the two timestamps. So you can choose Less time stamp ip address that will be best for you.

Here is my results , i decided to use Google public dns !
