I still have doubt, I mean what's the sense in using their DNS servers?
Is it because they claim to be fast?
- who cares, your provider has own dns servers which are probably
not much slower
- to setup a small bind caching dns server is no rocket science, my
redhat here even has it preconfigured as rpm (caching-nameserver.noarch)
- every OS has its own dns cache nowadays
