    I live in Mississippi, my ping to the new Dallas, Texas servers are 24ms ping. Right now, my account is pointing towards the Chicago area servers (78ms ping)

    Is there anyway to force my account to use the servers that are closer to my area?

    Thanks.

    Although this is not recommended, you may find out the real (non-anycast) addresses of the location in question and set up those. Not sure if his would work, but worth a try.

    Not sure how to find this out. It was mentioned occasionally here in the forum.
    Whatever, the better idea would be to open a ticket at http://www.opendns.com/support/contact/ so that OpenDNS staff can look into this routing problem.

    You cannot query a specific data center directly.

    Being in the central United States, you will be served by both the Chicago and Dallas sites at different times, depending on routing changes, maintenance windows, and a number of other factors.

    You can also ask your ISP or upstream provider to peer directly with the OpenDNS network. Additional details can be found at http://as36692.peeringdb.com

    Have the new dns servers is DAL, LA and MIA finally been activated for us end users? I'm in San Diego and still hitting the Palo Alto servers, would love to cut my dns ping by using the setup in LA instead.
