You can check here >>> http://ipleak.net/

I haven't used google DNS in long time but seems like when I did ipleak.net would
show 12 or more servers it picked up ... google is everywhere Razz

Yes. Put the two DNS servers under Static DNS on the Setup > Basic Setup page. Put 10.0.0.0 for the third or it might pickup and use your ISP's instead.

I don't know about you, but here are the pings for Google DNS and OpenDNS in my Hong Kong host:

$ ping 208.67.222.222
Code:

PING 208.67.222.222 (208.67.222.222) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 208.67.222.222: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=3.08 ms

--- 208.67.222.222 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 3.085/3.085/3.085/0.000 ms


$ ping 8.8.8.8
Code:

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=15.0 ms

--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 15.005/15.005/15.005/0.000 ms


OpenDNS is definitely faster.
