Sup.

I have a Florida VPS with HydraVPS colo'd at dimenoc.

Anyone have any recommendations for DNS servers that will provide the most accurate geo results for that region?

Currently getting the best results out of OpenDNS:

root@flavps:~# nslookup www.nfl.com 208.67.222.222 | grep 'Address:' | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}' | xargs mtr -c1 -r

Google is sending me to Atlanta with higher latency:
