[SATLUG] Home DNS Caching

[Charles Hogan]

I've got a dns server running on one of my boxen.

For me, it compares to the switch from dial-up to broadband in that I'm 
never going back to using my ISP's dns servers.

I no longer have the lag time between me and the dns server, nor do I 
have to wait forever when the ISP's dns servers are overloaded. 
Sometimes I think they pulled a bunch of 8086's out of the bin to run 
their dns services.

The difference in speed is definitely noticeable.
