    Help Be users? Which DNS ?

    Do those with BE use be DNS or open dns ones? Just interested as seen some slowdowns over the last few weeks and so checked the be box and only had one dns installed on it.... so reinstalled the be two dns but wondered if the open dns would make a difference?

    Any thoughts?

    Had several DNS probs with the BE ones a while (2 years or so) back - switched to Open DNS and not had any bother since

    I used GRC`s DNS benchmark to find the fastest http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

    I
    have found these two to be constantly the fastest un tampered dns server via Be`s network

    I find I have issues with some sites using Be DNS, hence my move to OpenDNS.
