OpenDNS resolves 200 billion requests, never blinks

by John Roberts on Jun 25th, 2007

Yesterday, OpenDNS resolved its 200,000,000,000th request. That’s 200 billion with a b.

Thank you to our many customers for making OpenDNS the world’s largest and fastest-growing DNS service. It’s been less than 3 months since we responded to the 100 billionth request. We’ve averaged more than 1 billion requests/day for that period. On Thursday, OpenDNS responded to 1.4 billion DNS requests (stats).

All that, with zero downtime (system status), thanks to multiple servers spread across five geographically distributed locations connected by multiple Tier 1 telco providers to deliver an amazingly fast, reliable Internet experience no matter the size of your network.

Come on in! Get started.

The magic numbers:

  • 208.67.222.222
  • 208.67.220.220
