Nobody seems to have noticed the other Google DNS IP that they haven't disclosed yet. It's 4.3.2.1

You heard it here first. :-)

I have difficulty getting a nice domain name, let alone IP address ;-) How do they do it?

$$$?

leif• 17 years ago

Not necessarily. Remember that these people are generally pretty clever. The story behind GOOG-411 is pretty good (though I don' think I can say it here; if you have a friend on the inside that knows you can keep your mouth shut, see if you can get them to tell you).

That said, it's unlikely that any amount of cleverness can buy an IP address, so yeah, probably $$$$$$$$$$.

They totally beat 4.2.2.2, which was my previous go-to server.

jokergd• 17 years ago

4.2.2.2 is still easier to type since you dont need to move your fingers at all

problem with 8.8.8.8 is you have to use the right hand to type it

lurkinggrue• 17 years ago

Wow! That is the same combination to my luggage.

trafficlight• 17 years ago

I use 1.3.3.7 myself.

bhseo• 17 years ago

Way too many geeks use that for 4 digit codes.

Query time is 43 msec while opendns.com is 102 msec, not bad!

ashleyw• 17 years ago

opendns.com != OpenDNS. Try pinging 208.67.222.222

blueben• 17 years ago

Who said he was pinging? He said "query", not "ttl".

Can someone who understands IP addresses explain what Google does to get these IP addresses?

They were sub-allocated 4.3.2.0/24 by Level3. The traffic isn't actually handled by level3, the block is being advertised by Google's AS (15169).
