Not to plug OpenDNS however should you decide to switch your DNS entry to their servers then it offers a number of features that you may appreciate. Such as, it will redirect 404s, allow you to create shortcuts (ie: ast versus 1.9.168.0.100/admin ), and do some statistical analysis. OpenDNS also states that you will get faster look-ups. I've tried it. It was fun when my kids asked me why a picture of them came up on the screen at times when they were surfing the internet (404 redirect).
When you say "404 redirect", are they running an HTTP proxy that detects 404 errors, or are you creatively overloading the meaning of "404 - File not found on this server" to mean "host not found"? Since you're talking about a DNS service I'd assume you mean the latter, but that's a rather imprecise use of language (and I know you didn't start this "language redirect" in this thread..., I'm just trying to clarify what was meant). :-)
