Check out Simple dns. Runs on windows and ready to go in a few minutes. I have used it for years.

CDNs use latency to your DNS resolvers (among other things) to optimize the delivery of content. If your DNS resolver isn't on your network, you simply aren't best able to take advantage of that infrastructure. You're more likely to be going to a worse node increasing latency, decreasing throughput, increasing chances of unreliability, etc.

Setting up local resolvers is a relatively simple and painless process. Just do it.

You always say that but I have been using open dns for over 6 years now and can't recall ever having any issues, not even once.

    Don't use any DNS resolvers not on your own network.

    I know cira.ca <http://cira.ca> has a service for ISPs. If you
    need a specific contact there let me know, off-list.

            What dns name solvers do you use to hand out to your
            customers via DHCP and why? Today we just hand out
            Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as a name resolvers. I
            recently learned about OpenDNS's free service for homes
            where a home user can monitor and potentially block
            certain websites, but that would require the home to
            signup at open dns, and then enter open DNS in their
            router. However if we handed out OpenDNS's IPs instead of
            googles, and provided a gateway, then that would remove
            that step of the client having to enter opendns IPs into
            their router right?Â

            Does OpenDNS have a service for ISP's? That gives us
            insight as to where traffic on our network is heading
            based dns lookups? I know about Netflow etc, but doing
            this though DNS seems like a cool option as well. We
            wouldn't want to block anything as an ISP, but it would be
            useful to know the top visited site by our customers is
            facebook.com <http://facebook.com> for example.

            If not OpenDNS, then is there some other hosted DNS
            service for ISP's?Â
