I've got to agree here, while it's unlikely your ISP's DNS will fail,
having your own should allow for faster access I would think. OTOH, who am
I to talk. I've got web, FTP and mail going, but have been to lazy to
setup DNS. But then I lean towards one mondo Alpha running VMS for most of
my stuff (actually most of the exterior stuff is on one Alpha running
OpenBSD).
I see you've not mentioned a firewall, are you going to have all this
sitting naked on the internet? I *STRONGLY* recommend a Firewall running
OpenBSD!!!!!!!!!! Look at it this way, I'm a VMS type, not a BSD type, and
my firewall runs OpenBSD.
