Let's see on my network. Using the router: Elessar:~ # time host trinitydesktop.org 192.168.1.1 Using domain server: Name: 192.168.1.1 Address: 192.168.1.1#53 Aliases: trinitydesktop.org has address 108.166.152.50 real 0m1.469s user 0m0.006s sys 0m0.004s Elessar:~ # More attempts: real 0m0.481s real 0m0.721s Now, letting dnsmasq work: Elessar:~ # time host trinitydesktop.org real 0m1.175s real 0m0.075s real 0m0.302s real 0m0.072s real 0m0.076s real 0m0.176s So it appears my router does a lousy job, it does not cache anything, it seems. It asks my ISP, then, and my ISP takes about a second to answer. Google is not better: Elessar:~ # time host trinitydesktop.org 8.8.8.8 real 0m1.163s real 0m0.858s real 0m0.475s OpenDNS: Elessar:~ # time host trinitydesktop.org 208.67.220.220 real 0m1.011s real 0m0.337s you see, for me a local cache on my machine does a big, big, advantage, because any external DNS query takes about a second with my ISP. -- Cheers, Carlos E.
