Speed internet browsing via a local domain name server
Authored by: tmhackalot on Sep 23, '06 05:27:34PM

This is an excelent post.

I have been searching for quite awhile trying to figure out what was going on with my mac. I was just about to enable local DNS when I saw the post in here about the DNS servers being incorrect. I checked it out and bingo!

It was pretty imbarassing that my daughter insisted on using my old 400 Mhz Windows 98 computer because it was 'faster' than my iMac.

I had narrowed down the problem to lookupd, but never even thought about a problem with DHCP and the DNS servers. I would like to know why it was using bad servers, but that is for another day.

I'm perfectly happy with performance now. It could be that local DNS caching would improve things even further but I am concerned about how to deal with my VPN.

Thanks again people!
