They are distributed all over the world. (sounds impossible right). The black magic involved went way over my head. There is a pretty nasty DNS vulnerability that was leaked onto the net by accident last week. You might want to statically assign Level3 or OpenDNS servers to all your machines. The alternative is a potential DNS spoofing+phishing attack based on the vuln. Seems only 60% or so DNS servers have been patched till date. My default Airtel GPRS DNS servers were only patched 2 days ago. Regards, Vimal P.S: always bookmark a google IP or two. This has always been my golden rule for survival on the Indian Internet. lol. 4.2.2.[1-6] are Level 3 ’s DNS servers. They are distributed all over the world. (sounds impossible right).
