Thanks. > Yeah, I use BIND (otherwise known as named). But from having a quick look around now it seems there are pre-prepared packages for various distributions to set this up in a more convenient way. I did it by hand, so can't vouch for these pages, but they look good and may help you:

I believe google and opendns have publically usable servers.
