Set up your own caching DNS server, don't rely on your upstream provider. I made the mistake of using forwarders back before I new better, Sprint shut me down one time because I was hammering on them with spam database lookups.

Scott Perry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 6:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] DNS Hi, I am having a problem with my upstream DNS provider. I have my own in-house DNS server but for non-local host DNS requests, they are forwarded to my T1 provider's DNS server. The problem is that their server has become unreliable. Their server usually does not go down completely but just slows down. Most of the time I don't know there is a problem until someone calls me to complain about delayed or returned e-mail (and then I may find several thousand messaged in my overflow folder). What I was wondering is if there is a free or fee based outbound DNS provider? Or is there a master DNS server that I should already be pointing to? Thanks for any advise that you can provide.
