Re: DNS outdated

That is how DNS works.

If you have a DNS server and it does not have the answer it goes to the authoritive DNS server that is configured for it. It won't be going to Googles as mentioned above, it will eventually go to the root .com server which is what controls all .com DNS names.

Right. Just run a local, caching DNS server that's configured to forward on to the ISP (or Open, or Level3) if it doesn't know the answer. No need for an end-user DNS to go straight to the authority, just up to the next link in the chain.

Mine currently forwards to OpenDNS for whatever it doesn't know.
