Dnsmadeeasy have support for tcp/http/https/dns/udp monitoring and automatic failover for up to 4 alternative IPs.So you can set 5 IPs for round robin and when main IP goes down(1 min interval and num

Never had this problem before; I was actually just thinking about using OpenDNS the other day, so I've swapped it from the ones @Darknessends gave me (Google DNS) to OpenDNS's.

+1 on this. I recently hax0red my cable modem so that I could log in and set Google's servers as the DNS servers, instead of my ISP's terrible servers that went offline at least once a week.

Most ISPs really have shitty DNS resolvers. Here in the US, AT&T's are down at least 25% of the time, same for other ISPs, in my experience.

You also dont need more than 256 ram for a dns and a small site.

I got a BHOST VPS and paying less than $5/mo on it so I can have UK DNS server.

We have about 300 domains on cPanel DNS, running at ~400MB. I think I remember some people here modifying things to get it down but I've not really bothered with it.
