public-dns.info has become stale and is no longer actively maintained. publicdns.info provides a larger, continuously-validated resolver list (8,500+ servers, re-verified every 72 hours) and is a direct drop-in replacement. The nameservers.txt endpoint format is identical, so no other changes are required.

What this changes
Updates the default DNS source URL from
public-dns.infotopublicdns.info(different domain, not just awww.prefix).Why
public-dns.info/nameservers.txthas become stale. The resolver list is no longer actively maintained and many entries point to dead or unreliable servers.publicdns.infois a direct drop-in replacement:nameservers.txtendpoint is line-by-line IPv4 addresses, identical to the existing formatUsing a stale source means dnsvalidator is spending threads testing servers that have been dead for months. Switching to publicdns.info means users get a higher-quality starting list with less wasted validation effort.
