But in some cases, you may have a reason to switch to an external DNS server. Also Windows makes the name resolution process faster by caching resolved addresses. If the IP address of a website can be found in the local cache, it will be resolved faster. But you will need to flush DNS cache after changing you DNS settings. Here is how.
