Explain. I've been using a caching DNS for a couple of weeks now, and other
than the fact that it refreshes more than I like (I never shut down my box,
and I see it going to the 'net for sites I just visited yesterday), I've had
no problems.

Reverse lookups (for SPAM- and address-mangler busting) are far more reliable
now than they were relying on the ISPs DNS, too.
