What do you mean by best? – waiwai933 – 2010-03-07T06:36:10.667

best meaning, its most likely the most compatible. The dns server which matches the pc and the network – Wern Ancheta – 2010-03-07T06:38:14.753

1there is no such thing as "the best DNS server". Use the one from your ISP or OpenDNS. – Snark – 2010-03-07T07:32:57.087

Execute the nameserver-benchmark and see what's best for you:

@Nam Gi VU: don't know why you bring up "dnsbenchmark", never said anything about "dnsbenchmark". i talked about "namesaver-benchmark" ... – akira – 2011-05-08T16:13:26.080

DNS Benchmark will tell you which is the fastest.

as for high performance: running your own nameserver will always be the best DNS server for your working set.
