I know there is often debates on here about running any servers, some servers, or doing everything in-house (mail, web, DNS etc). Even if you outsource everything I would still run recursive caching DNS …. Performance and reliability the main reasons. Some CDN’s and other services determine the path to send you content based on where the DNS look up occurs and in our case that’s a significant factor …
We operate our own anycasted DNS …actually two of them. One set of servers for recursive caching and another set for authoritative DNS.

The main reason for this is so that websites serve data from the closest server due to the way that DNS anycast works. And, the biggest one - to have control over a critical piece of infrastructure for your customers. What happens if one of these public DNS services go down and you have hundreds of customers pointing at it?
