This Google app would be interesting if it actually filtered out broken
DNS servers.

I followed the link and from what I saw it doesn't actually do anything
to help with busted DNS servers. It just finds the fastest DNS without
any preference of busted or working.

I've been using 4.2.2.1 through 4.2.2.6 as fallbacks for my own caching
server for a while now. They work like a DNS is suppose to work.
