Kilcarbery Business Park DNS

OpToCo · 11-01-2013 02:53PM #1

I recently downloaded a program that found the fastest DNS servers near me, it pointed to these ones:

82.195.157.31
web2.morsolutions.net

82.195.157.19
ns2.morsolutions.net

The program said that these IP's were located in Kilcarbery Business Park.

I was just posting here to verify if they can be trusted privacy & virus wise.

Telecity have a large data centre in Kilcarberry so more than likely true.

Why would you want to use a web designer for DNS?

Why not use your own ISP's NS?
They are on the same local network which should result in the shortest hop and using your ISP's NS allows for intelligent use of content servers such as akamai. So resolving an akamai link for Microsoft on Eircom's NS will point to a hosted server within Eircom for the download rather than a server further away. Using a third party NS may not yield those benefits

As I said, I used this program because it measured the response times of DNS servers from a global list.

This DNS Server came up with a response time of 23ms which shattered the response time of the eircom DNS

So what? It's not as if you're blasting out DNS requests hundreds of times a second is it? Successful replies to DNS requests are cached locally, so it's only one request that's made when you first access a particular site, and after that it comes from memory. If you're expecting a huge improvement in performance by doing this you're in for a disappointment.

I see that tool comes from the (in)famous Gibson Research Corporation, purveyors of cyber snake-oil such as SpinRite since the early 80's. I didn't think they even still existed.
