Introduction to Google Public DNS

Why Google Public DNS?

As web pages become more complex and include more resources from multiple origin domains, clients need to perform multiple DNS lookups to render a single page. The average Internet user performs hundreds of DNS lookups each day, slowing down his or her browsing experience. As the web continues to grow, greater load is placed on existing DNS infrastructure.

Since Google’s search engine already crawls the web on a dailybasis and in the process resolves and caches DNS information, we wanted to leverage our technology to experiment with new ways of addressing some of the existing DNS challenges around performance and security. We are offering the service to thepublic in the hope of achieving the following aims:

• Provide end users with an alternative to their current DNS service.Google Public DNS takes some new approaches that we believe offer more valid results, increased security, and, in most cases, better performance.
• Help reduce the load on ISPs‘ DNS servers. Bytaking advantage of our global data-center and cachinginfrastructure, we can directly serve large numbers of user requests without having toquery other DNS resolvers.
• Help make the web faster and more secure. We arelaunching this experimental service to test some new ways to approachDNS-related challenges. We hope to share what we learn with developers of DNS resolvers and the broaderweb community and get their feedback.
