my router runs linux as well.
resolving depends on remote servers(as my router has simple recursive DNS), if I query record for the first time.
my ISP DNS servers are quite laggy that's why I'm off to my own one.
I also don't like someone watching my dns queries, one more reason to use own recursive server, instead of ISP's or, of course, Google's

ping time is more,its okay
what about the algorithm(software) that converts the URL to ip address.
google uses the best algorithms and most of its servers run linux,so you can expect good performance.
who knows your ISP may use a dns server running windows.
$ ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=63.6 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=64.1 ms
^C
and this:
Code:
$ ping 192.168.168.192
PING 192.168.168.192 (192.168.168.192) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.168.192: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.144 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.168.192: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.123 ms
^C
I lose at least 60 msec using your method, how is that faster than having local recursive DNS or one offered by your ISP?
what of browser I'm quite comfortable with opera & firefox.
