GOOGLE's Public DNS.. What is this ?
Google is expanding over the net like a Big Bang. It has put over its hands now to the DNS.You might have heard about DNS (Domain name System/Server). The DNS is an Internet protocol that acts as both telephone directory and switchboard.Its job is to provide translation of a URL, such as www.goolge.com, into the IP address of the server that hosts the site.
Google has just begun an experimental, but stable, Public Domain Name Server (DNS), described in a Thursday post to Google's Official Blog.
