I am using BSNL dataone for more than a month and I noticed that their DNS server are slow and sometimes never works in first attempt, its now getting irrated so I thought to look for some solution, first one I tried was using an open public nameserver !!
like .. 219.127.89.37 and used as secondry DNS..
Things worked fine,
Then I thought to use some caching namserver to installed on my system itself, in linux I know how to that but in windowsXP I found a software which do same for free and thats when on personal use.

Install it and it will work on its own, if you have configured Dataone to dial from computer itself then you have to read its quick start guide else if you have configured your system to use Modem as router ie.. modem connects on its own and your system work as client to then its done.
The reason for this thread is just to help if anyone facing similar problem as well getting their feedback ie. if its really a problem of DNS on dataone.
BTW.
for those who are wondering what exactly I am talking about then its..
When you open a website and for long its not opening , you may have to refresh or again refresh to get it open but on the other hand other sites are working just fine, opening in just one flick.
It means that connection is fine but problem is DNS resolving.
PS:
Caching nameserver saves DNS query too so that in future your computer won't need to connect to ISP nameserver in order to resolve a domain, also this nameserver keeps database upto date on its own just givng you fast and accurate results.

I just found that the software is nothing but windows port of famous LINUX DNS server BIND! Its very reliable and good.
