Local DNS servers can speed up your surfing and other network traffic. Since it doesn't have to do remote queries for some stuff. ;) A local caching DNS server can be good enough, but there are other things you can do with your own local DNS server. Like serving public or private IPs depending on where the query originates from. Allot of people are really into using third party DNS services. I have never been a fan of that, and always done my own DNS in house. -- William L.
