I'd recommend setting up a caching nameserver. Just point your caching
name server to theirs. That way you can take advantage of their cache
as well as grow your own.

Are they nuts? (They are sometimes.) But they have local-cachine nameservers
they provide, which, from my server, have ping latencies from 0.1-0.2 ms.
