4.3.2.1 -- Another google DNS ip

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. :-)

    $ whois 4.3.2.1
    Level 3 Communications, Inc. LVLT-ORG-4-8 (NET-4-0-0-0-1)
                                      4.0.0.0 - 4.255.255.255
    Google Incorporated LVLT-GOOGL-1-4-3-2 (NET-4-3-2-0-1)
                                      4.3.2.0 - 4.3.2.255

Wow! That is the same combination to my luggage.

I use 1.3.3.7 myself.

Way too many geeks use that for 4 digit codes.

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

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

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).

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

$$$?

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 $$$$$$$$$$.

Blargh. Anyone care to share it anonymously?

Come on don't tease like that - share!

Nice work :)

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

opendns.com != OpenDNS. Try pinging 208.67.222.222

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