Or maybe for some random company who doesn't have the burstable capacity to
handle a multi-gigabit network attack with a couple of office DNS servers.
Or maybe just a company who requires a guaranteed SLA... etc... Had we moved
to a free provider I have no doubt they would have gone down as well which
is not a very nice thing for us to do, so we moved to someone who could
shout at us and we could shout at.

Hi,

I have been following this thread, and am mostly curious - can somebody (or 
preferably several folks) define what is meant by 'Enterprise DNS' ?

Thanks,
