Hello:
I would consider the implications to running your own DNS, firstly is this
something that is provided as a free by your ISP. Secondly are you willing to
devote a server and your time to setup and maintain it. Are you aware of the
implications if your DNS server goes down, ex. would the outside world be able
to get to your site? If you have a public web site and were unaware that your
DNS server was down this could cost you revenue.
If these are an assigned IP address from your ISP you can have them setup
reverse DNS so you can map IP to address as well - at no additional time or cost
on your part!
