What do you mean by best? – waiwai933 Mar 7 '10 at 6:36
best meaning, its most likely the most compatible. The dns server which matches the pc and the network – Ieyasu Sawada Mar 7 '10 at 6:38

there is no such thing as "the best DNS server". Use the one from your ISP or OpenDNS. – Snark Mar 7 '10 at 7:32

@Nam Gi VU: don't know why you bring up "dnsbenchmark", never said anything about "dnsbenchmark". i talked about "namesaver-benchmark" ... – akira May 8 '11 at 16:13
