Is there anyway I can simply change between multiple DNS servers without having to go through the TCP/IP etc.

I run & have access to about 15 dif servers round the world, some are better for certain things (Cali for Netflix, London for BBC etc) But it's a complete pain having to change all the time, an app I could just click and set would be fucking awesome!

Any ides?

Write something to change [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters] & Interfaces\{blurgh}
"NameServer"="" to whatever.
Then ipconfig /registerdns

Follow Craig suggestion - except type it into a notepad.

Save the notepad as 'BBC DNS.bat'

Right click on your Batch file - run as administrator

Done

Craigs suggestion is easy as.

Create a bunch of bat files, i.e US.bat, NZ.bat, UK.bat

In each of them put the above command, with the relevant DNS address,

Done!

Try that.

follow example config in server.txt to add DNS entries.

Haven't tested it really.
