I really don't understand the appeal of this approach on a Linux users' mailing list. The amount of technical knowledge and effort that it takes to run your own caching resolver and point resolv.conf to 127.0.0.1 is only *slightly* greater than the amount of technical knowledge and effort that it takes to point resolv.conf to "some global caching resolver that is like 8.8.8.8 but theoretically more trustworthy, maybe". In both cases, the major issue is getting isc-dhcp-client and network-manager and other such things to leave your resolv.conf the hell alone after you edit it. See <https://wiki.debian.org/resolv.conf> for help with that. Installing a caching resolver is pretty simple. Editing /etc/resolv.conf is likewise pretty simple, or *should* be for anyone on this mailing list.
