ExtraDNS
ExtraDNS accelerates your Internet connection by caching DNS requests. Whenever you access a page on the world wide web, fetch your E-mail, request a file via FTP or access any other resource on the Internet, your computer will have to find out the IP number that corresponds to the address of the site you want to access. Each request needs to be sent to your DNS server across your Internet link. Depending on the speed of your connection, other line activity and DNS server load it may take several seconds before a reply is being received. It is but after this reply that your application can actually start loading the requested data. When a web page is being loaded, DNS requests need to be sent for each additional screen element that are part of the page (images, banners etc.) . Our Review: ExtraDNS is useful for anyone with an Internet connection. DNS resolutions can be requested from up to 10 DNS servers simultaneously. Requests are also cached, meaning that the IP number is stored for quick resolution next time that site is accessed. Very efficient and perfect for multiple nameserver operations.
