This is what I do. My direct upstream name servers are not reliable enough. Using caching DNS makes my home network much happier. On the firewall/router, it's nice to use "supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;" in dhclient.conf, so the router itself gets the same benefit. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
