I recently read an article about a company which offers free, alternative DNS look-up servers. The company is called OpenDNS http://www.opendns.com/.

They make the following statement:

"The speed of your DNS service determines how quickly websites load for you. That's why you want your DNS service to be blazing. OpenDNS is so fast because we run some of the largest DNS caches around and do it on our own high-performance network. "

Realistically, what percentage of the typical page load time is consumed by accessing the DNS look-up server? Would a "blazingly" fast DNS service make any noticeable different in page load times? Can PingPlotter show the time consumed by DNS look-up?

Thanks
