That's one of the first "hairy chested 'ix things" I ever Since operating a sizeable DNS infrastructure, I came to prefer to people using a shared/common/ISP-provided nameserver. Since many mailservers will query the same DNS-related information (eg DNSxL lookups on widely-used mailservers like eg from Yahoo, or from the same botnets), traffic savings through caching are _considerable_.
True, but you can also run a caching DNS server that forwards to your ISP one and gain a double-benefit traffic wise. You're still using your ISP's servers and their cach, but you're also caching locally.
