Speed internet browsing via a local domain name server
Authored by: jeremyp on May 05, '05 05:16:20AM

Whether this hint works depends entirely on the infrastructure of your ISP. If your ISP has good fast name servers with good connectivity to you, there is no chance you'll get better performance from this hint since their name servers will have the DNS requests of every one of their customers cached, thus you may get the benefits of caching even on your first visit to a site if somebody has been there already.

The other problem with this hint is that it breaks the ability to get a DNS server from DHCP so it should probably never be used with a laptop.
