What is a fast DNS server for MAC?
My internet connection has currently been slow and think it’s the DNS servers because I have tried different ones and can see a difference in speed. I also see a lag between the time i type on the keyboard and when it shows up on the screen. I have Safari 5.0.1 and Mac OS X 10.5.8, Processor 1.6 GHz Intel Core Duo and Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. The servers I’m currently using are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

The DNS server you’ll get the fastest path to is normally your provider’s. (You’re on at least gigabit Ethernet to that server.) Whether the server itself is fast, or running on a Pentium 75 with 5MB of RAM, is another matter.)
