Speak for yourself. There are plenty of reasons to set up and use your


own DNS server rather than use your ISP's. Performance and reliability


are one. My DSL provider, SBC, is notorious for its flakey, slow DNS


servers, so I run my own. I get much better performance and nearly


100% reliability.



Setting up and managing a caching DNS server is not rocket


science. Anyone with reasonable computer experience can do it.
