Can I change the DNS resolution faster? [instantaneous response] [reseller account]
Q: This is a completely idiotic question: o but I thought this might be the best place to anyway.
So questions for all my sites hosted on Site5s reseller account, it seems a few seconds can take to resolve my domain (” Looking mydomain.com . “on the status of Firefox) . unlike almost immediate response of, say, $ () MySite, and ati.com nvidia.com. I like the IP address for my website instead of the domain, immediate response so I know it has something to do with DNS resolution (I hope I am here .) Returns About 80ms ping from here in Los Angeles to data center in New Jersey.
Now, I realize that the sites I mentioned with ultra-fast DNS resolution are probably some uber-server setups . but I want to know if there is anything I can do on my end, or on my webhosts end? I thought I would ask first before firing off a request for support . Site5
I know that only a few seconds, but I like doing something then all adds up!

Re:Had similar issues and finally changed my DNS servers from the default RR ones to 206.124.64.253 and
206.124.65.253. Resolved most of my delay issues. Those I think belong to Verizon.

well who has the autorative name server?
plus you only do a DNS query once and then it is cached so you shouldn't see the delay all the time.
try NSLOOKUP to see if it truly is a long query time. could be something else with your page/server setup.
Since it's a reseller account, I have setup my name server to ns1 and ns2.mydomain.com.. I have no idea what an authoritative name server is though 
According to nslookup ("nslookup mydomain.com"), the non-authoritative answer points to mydomain.com. :confused:
As I said, it is working fine, and probably setup correctly so it's no big deal. But it'll be nice if it worked a wee bit faster

throw it in your hosts file?
also if you want to really see how long name resolution is use nslookup. just type nsloop from a command prompt.
hosts file is just a stop-gap solution.. doesn't solve it for other people. but if nothing else works I'll do that
