    I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

          More like who's visiting your site. DNS resolves names into IP addresses.

              for your computer's OS. this has nothing to do with a website that you host. it'll track every website you ever go to instead

                  Really? How would that work? Isn't DNS a server that acts like a directory translating the domain names into IP addresses?

                  So if your website is using Google's DNS, wouldn't the DNS track all the computers that were requesting for a particular domain name?

                      ^yes, they can log every ip and what hostname that ip is looking for. in fact i think they do in the short term for service analysis. this is just another tool to be able to mine a shitload of log data for even better ad serving and user internet browsing habits. hell they could even use it to do domain name parking by looking for search trends and then registering those domain names and sitting on them or selling them back to end users for a profit.

                      here is a (bit one sided) blog entry from the founder of opendns (which will be hurt the most by googles dns) about it:

                      http://blog.opendns.com/2009/12/03/opendns-google-dns/



                      Also here is what google is storing from their privacy policy:

                          So if your website is using Google's DNS, wouldn't the DNS track all the computers that were requesting for a particular domain name?
                          DNS processes outbound traffic, not inbound. Think of it like an old-school telephone switchboard. Your computer wants to talk to a website, so it asks DNS how to get to it. The DNS server converts a hostname into an IP address, then your computer connects to the website via the IP address that the DNS server provided.

                          This would be a change you would make in your Network settings on Windows... it wouldn't have anything to do with a website you have. You'd throw away your Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T, etc DNS server and use the Google DNS server instead.

                              Ah got it, I mistook DNS for the name servers you use when setting up web hosting.
