I'm fine with that. Residential customers shouldn't be running DNS servers anyway and as far as the outside resolvers to go, ehhhh... I see the case for OpenDNS given that you can use it to filter (though that's easily bypassed), but not really for any others.Except that half the time people run their own DNS resolvers because their provider's resolvers are
Resolver != authoritative server. Your local DNS resolver doesn't need to be (and should not be) listening to port 53 on the Internet. Only DNS authoritative servers need to accept Internet traffic on port 53, and almost nobody needs to be running one on a typical residential connection (especially since residential IPs do change from time to time). -- Chris Adams <cma () cmadams net>
