There are security issues too. If the DNS you chose to use is not a good one, or if it is ever compromised, it can lead to DNS spoofing. Even SSL might not be able to help you out then. That said, OpenDNS and GoogleDNS should be fairy safe of such issues. I use google DNS as my primary (as it is faster) and OpenDNS as my secondary DNS.
