>> 8.8.8.8 has never been anywhere but the US afaik. If you want a public DNS server to use 139.130.4.4 and 61.88.88.88 have always been good for me. (Telstra and Optus respectively).

From an ISP perspective (and common carrier arguments aside), does anyone see a problem with using 8.8.8.8 as an alias on ones own DNS ?

Should we be using an RFC5736 address for DNS resolvers?

Does using 8.8.8.8 over any other resolver add any additional value to the end user, or google?
