I have been using these free DNS servers for about 4 months:
www.centralinfo.net
and
www.granitecanyon.com
For the first month granitecanyon.com was rather unreliable, but has
been fine since. I have had no problems with centralinfo.net.
Both do primary and secondary.
Caveats:
Free DNS services have a tendency to grow rapidly, and that
could make their servers choke from time to time.
The domains I am using with them are extremely low volume,
so I have not stress tested the reliability of these services.
So far it's a good free lunch...
