Tweak DNS Settings for Faster Internet Access

handful of DNS hacks for speeding up access to web sites.
You use the Web by typing in hostnames such as www.oreilly.com, but web servers and Internet routers can't understand plain English words, so they need those letters translated into numeric IP addresses. Whenever you type in a hostname, such as www.oreilly.com, it needs to be resolved to its IP address, such as 208.201.239.37. DNS servers provide that name resolution automatically and behind the scenes as you surf the Web.
There are several ways you can hack your DNS settings so that you can get faster web access.
