Re: [Cable] For those that use OpenDNS or Google DNS... I'd get my facts straight before saying stuff like that. It's a mirroring service that has nothing to do with Teksavvy, really. And they don't do it for free. These people do it in order to gather usage statistics to sell to marketing firms, among other things. So if privacy is a concern keep using your third party DNS.

The OP is correct and as some others have pointed out, please make sure you understand how CDN's like Akamai work before posting bogus information.
3rd party DNS will work at some point in the future with Akamai's on-net node clusters .. but it's not there yet. So for maximum performance to sites powered by Akamai (and other CDN's) you should use your ISP's DNS servers. |
