I am located outside the US and require a DNS service to use Netflix and Hulu. However I would like to use a OpenDNS for every other resolution because it is considerably faster (ie. 30ms vs 280ms). I am using Windows 8.1.
To make clear what I'm trying to achieve, here's a solution I came across for OSX to do with creating a text file in etc/resolver (http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2004062902195410)

According to this Server Fault question it's not possible to implement this on the Windows client-side (the question is for Windows 7 but I'm not aware of any changes in the TCP/IP stack in Windows 8/8.1 that would nullify this answer).

if it's for what I think you're trying, use hola in Firefox. It's an add on I've used for a few months that redirects "certain" websites for me to the American versions. I'm on my mobile so I can't link the add on. I also use it on my phone and tablet with usually good results.

1yes I'm familiar with hola, but it only works in the browser (when it works at all) and not on the Windows 8 Netflix app, which plays higher quality. And I needed a DNS service anyway to get my chromecast working. thanks anyways. – Isaac Christie – 2014-11-29T06:35:34.493
