Re: OT-ish: In need of DNS hosting
I agree. OpenDNS is fast, inexpensive, and reliable.

Re: OT-ish: In need of DNS hosting
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me that OpenDNS provides only DNS Resolver (aka recursive, caching) services. I believe that Ryan's looking for Authoritative DNS service, which I don't see OpenDNS providing. Am I missing something here?
