Ive been running DNS since day one and never looked back. Had to upgrade
hardware from some old intel dual core machines
to i5 intel with 16GB of ram and 250GB SSD performance is overrated
these days :)
Thats all they do is DNS except primary dns has html speed test for
techs to test internal stuff.

You have your own DNS for one huge reason. GeoLocation for when it
comes to Content Networks such as Netflix. One of the mechanisms
they employ is using DNS Geolocation to serve you the closest
content. Not only do they do a GeLocate on your IP, but some also
do a check to make sure your DNS servers are coming from the same
place as your customers. This is especially true if you or one of
your upstreams is peered with Netflix or someone on an exchange.
Otherwise, if you are using Google or other DNS you may be in
Kansas, and you might be getting content from Netflix out of
California, when you could be getting it literally next door.
Makes the customer experience much better. There are RFCs that
address this, but if they are implemented is a crapshoot.
Secondly, relying on a 3rd party for such a critical service such
as DNS can be troublesome. Would you rely on someone else to
provide the wireless signal to your customers blindly? If so, then
offloading DNS is okay for you. I want more control for such a
critical service.
I hear folks worry about the bandwidth DNS takes up. It’s not a
concern either way. If your network can’t support the bandwidth
of DNS queries then you have deeper issues.
It’s hard. No it’s not. Tons of tutorials on Bind for every
flavor of linux. Just about any old machine laying around can run
DNS.
If anyone wants to know how easy, and how cheap it is to spin up
DNS (both recursive and authoritative) hit me up. I will gladly
talk with you about some strategy.

I know there is often debates on here about running any servers,
some servers, or doing everything in-house (mail, web, DNS etc).
Even if you outsource everything I would still run recursive
caching DNS …. Performance and reliability the main reasons.
Some CDN’s and other services determine the path to send you
content based on where the DNS look up occurs and in our case
that’s a significant factor …
We operate our own anycasted DNS …actually two of them. One set
of servers for recursive caching and another set for
authoritative DNS.

Because it's good for your customers, and it should take very
little time to set one up.
The main reason for this is so that websites serve data from the
closest server due to the way that DNS anycast works.
And, the biggest one - to have control over a critical piece of
infrastructure for your customers. What happens if one of these
public DNS services go down and you have hundreds of customers
pointing at it?

Yes, bunch of discussions over the past few days on NANOG and
some of the vendor mailing lists.

Faster and more private than Google or others. :)
