Re: Avoid DNS redirection all together...
So these are public servers, or servers for customer user?
OpenDNS adds a few ms response time.
We should be able to use the ISP's DNS server. Not some servers that we are not technically supposed to use (4.2.*) or sign up for stuff like opendns.
said by factchecker :
If you can use them, use the following public DNS servers:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6
Or, if you are inclined to, try OpenDNS.

You don't have to sign up for opendns, just put in 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 and off you go.
I still use my ISP's DNS servers as its 8ms to them or 60ms to opendns or 4.2.2.x and i see no difference between them and my ISP DNS servers. |

I think 4.2.2.* is technically Verizon's DNS (although IP lookup says it's Level3)
...anyway, they are wide-open, and several other ISPs don't seem to think twice about telling their customers to use them when their own DNS is messed up. |

They are anycasted, so when you use an 4.2.2.x address, you will be routed to the nearest server. |

said by dvd536 :opendns also has redirects! Those can be turned off on their end through their website. I'd recommend them only if you don't want to use the Level3 DNS servers (why I said, "if you are inclined to"). |
