OpenDNS Primary vs Secondary Guide
This page uses 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 as network-layer examples. Primary and secondary labels describe configuration entries; they are not performance, priority, or reliability verdicts.

This guide explains public network concepts. Routes, ownership records, and Geo data can change; verify time-sensitive decisions with the source or network operator.
Which public fields should you check first?
Open the IP pages for 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 and record the Geo estimate, ISP, ASN, BGP prefix, sources, and query time. Addresses in one ASN can still use different prefixes or route entry points.
Does a primary address always perform better?
No. Primary and secondary addresses normally provide redundant client configuration. This page does not test DNS latency, packet loss, or failover behavior.
How should you confirm each address role?
Use the operator's current resolver and setup documentation. For real performance comparisons, repeat tests from the same device, network, and time windows.
