I meant the bind config after you "apt-get install bind9".  CentOS/etc
make it trivial "yum install caching-nameserver".

Fully agree on the importance of proximity to end users, and the
limitations of OpenDNS/etc as a consequence.

But other than proximity, ISP DNS has limited advantages.  Main
disadvantages are lack of correctness, reliability and security where
the OpenDNS/etc score high.  However, the privacy aspects of
Google DNS is another can of worms.
