I also use dns.he.net. I may delete my dns box as I don't need self hosted dns.

No issues with Googles DNS - neither v4 nor v6.

I would like a tutorial on how to use NSD3 to create my own DNS cluster out of LEB's.

I use Linode's DNS, however one day I might just self-host, for the fun of it :P

I used to have a NSD cluster but it got too messy with downtime and all, I intended to go to dns.he.net temporarily but I've never actually had the time or been bothered to go back to NSD.

I use Linode DNS, never ever had an issue with it.

I use dns.he.net

I was wondering, do most of you run your own DNS Servers(And if so, with what? Bind? On a low end box?).

DNS needs no diskio anyway.

break your server and your good. I asked for R-DNS 3 times the past month no response. I like them good pricing but just don't break your server.

If your ISP has delegated control of the reverse DNS to you, then you would normally need to setup your zone accordingly.

However if I am setting up Bind up for a number of domains I have, so I have more control over the DNS, I shouldn't set up a reverse zone file as I will be hosting more than one domain on a single IP.

If you wanted to provide reverse DNS for IP address AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD and had public delegation for the AAA.BBB.CCC/24 subnet, you could

128Mb RAM is fine, DNS slave.

I once installed dns-only on a 15/year vps from buyvm.

My criteria for cpanel DNS only are OpenVZ nodes with 128mb of ram; they're all working fine for me...

@Asim ok, correction - 128MB OpenVZ is not enough to install cPanel DNS-only. Xen/KVM is different (because it can use swap) and you can install cPanel DNS-only there.
