I don't believe it matters whether you use Google's 8.8.8.8, or use your ISP's servers. It would only make (some small) sense if local sites with local content were hosted locally and used local dns Right now, many 'local' sites are hosted in USA or elswhere. The time taken to return a dns query is not significant. Cheers, Tony On 22/12/2016, Joro Maundu via skunkworks <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
Hello:
Any recommendation for DNS servers located in Kenya to use as an alternative to the Googles of the world? The use-case I am thinking of is in resolving local web content, hopefully faster by reducing the number of hops.
Thanks, Allan.

Seems they broke their DNSSEC http://dnsviz.net/d/ke/WFMz3A/dnssec/
Its not the first time this has happened, I recall it happened in 2015 http://marc.info/?l=afnog&m=142779850917108&w=2

Seems to be worsening - DNS servers in Kenya that were previously resolving .co.ke domains are now not.
I think this may have happened once before in 2015 and at that time had something to do with DNSSEC

Greetings,
I know very little about DNS and as a point of note kenic is also not resolving. Currently, they all seem to exhibit a similar TLD Parent check error according to https://intodns.com
