Anyone who might be having issues with DNS, can try this new service, recently announced by Google. Google Public DNS read the link on the page Using Google Public DNS if you have questions about how to use it. I know some routers have some problems with forwarding issues and well as some ISP DNS resolvers present "redirection" issues. Maybe this might help some folks with some of their issues.

But using Google DNS will cost you milliseconds.

Try pinging googledns...and then use and ping opendns. you'll find opendns carries alot less overhead (its faster)
