But you can do a lot better if you use non-random nameservers. The problem is finding them. I've never found a better approach than asking friends and then testing the response times. It seems like there should be a way to systematically search your network neighborhood for nameservers and pick a few that work well. Saying "Use 4.2.2.1" may be a good answer to "What nameserver can I use?", but it's not an answer at all to the question "How do I find a good nameserver from here?"
