But using "further" away DNS´s _will_ affect your browsing speed, eg if 
 netscape wants to connect to a page with lots o banners or otherwise 
 linked other sites there´s easily 20-30 dns-lookups per page, and 
 netscape does them one after one, so there are seconds lost sometimes 
 before netscape even gets the the whole page html-wise...
