i use my verizon DNS server... im all of 10 miles away from it and its the fastest available.
never liked opendns.... it redirects you to their page when you put in the wrong url or a bad one.

I use a combination of hosts file on my router and my isp's DNS server, anything else has increased hops.
Why the interest in testing your ISP's DNS servers for security??, most DNS servers are not secure, there are a number of exploits and flaws in DNS which many servers have not patched.

Just some odd DNS issues the last few days, some sites report a DNS error & some load fine.

GRC is working on a DNS benchmark tool and security utility that should be out this year...

I run my own DNS server at work. I figure if it gets screwed up I know who to call in the back room.
DNS isn't designed to be secure, really. There are improvements that have been specified but the problem with infrastructure is everyone needs to be on the same page to make it so.
