...or even better, considering you're running on Linux, use your own
computer as a caching nameserver. Most distributions come with a
caching-only nameserver already configured, so all you have to do is
enable named at boot up (update-rc.d or chkconfig or whatever) and add
`nameserver 127.0.0.1' to /etc/resolv.conf.
This way you get clean, pure, fresh entries from the root nameservers
whenever you do a lookup instead of the stale and possibly mouldy
entries from the ISP's nameserver. More to the point, the second time
you hit an IP you get it from your local named instead of having to go
to the 'net each time to do a lookup: the first call puts the IP in
named's cache and the second time onwards uses the cached IP.
