Method and system for increasing speed of domain name system resolution within a computing device

A system for resolving domain name system (DNS) queries, comprising:

• a communication device configured to resolve DNS queries, wherein the communication device further comprises a memory and a processor that is configured by the memory;
• a cache storage for use by the communication device;
• and
• a network of authoritative domain name servers,
• wherein for each set of authoritative domain name servers within the network of authoritative domain name servers that exist for a DNS request, the communication device queries more than one authoritative domain name server in parallel and uses a first answer received from the set of authoritative domain name servers as a final answer to that DNS level request.

A system for resolving domain name system (DNS) queries, comprising:

• a communication device configured to resolve DNS queries, wherein the communication device further comprises a memory and a processor that is configured by the memory;
• a multitude of DNS recursors that are available to the computing device through a network;
• and
• a DNS resolver located within the communication device;
• wherein the DNS resolver of the communication device contains a list of a multitude of DNS recursors that are available to the communication device through the network and when the DNS resolver needs to do a DNS lookup, the DNS resolver queries more than one of the multitude of DNS recursors concurrently and uses the result from the DNS recursor that first provides an answer.
