www.traceroute.org provide a superb service by giving you the opportunity to run TraceRoute tests from different countries.

Using their web page you can select a TraceRoute server to check the route to your nameservers from local and remote points round the globe.

This will often give a good indication of how "well connected" your nameservers are and, please remember, if the path from different check-points to your nameservers appears to follow identical routes it is highly likely that they are situated in the same place (and maybe even on the same server).

As TraceRoute runs in real time, please allow a few seconds for each test to complete.

Remember that, if all this is too confusing, you can use our free Check-Me service, and we'll run all the tests for you and send you a comprehensive report on your nameserver setup.
