Only ever done it once before, it worked rather nicely, I guess you have
nothing to do with an ISP so wouldnt understand, if you did you, would
understand.

I make NO apologies for doing what I do for the benefit of our users and
support staff.

colo box no anycasting effect:
~$ dig www.com @8.8.8.8
;; Query time: 901 msec


my desktop box
~$ dig www.com
;; Query time: 1 msec

...so... WTF is the benefit in using google DNS?  maybe if you U.S based
its advantageous, but if if your like us and far away then hardly.
especially with websites that insist on laoding up 30 different images
all offsite :)
