I think the free dns page on the wiki is mostly forward DNS (which is AAAA)

@dmmcintyre3 You can't disable the web server, that is how the WHM boxes talk to the DNSONLY box on port 2087, now if you mean apache on port 80, it is not installed by default.

Is it because of the CPanel though? I know we have 2 off site vpses that we use for DNS and, if it wasn't because they were doing other things, we could probably get away with using less than 256.

fyi - almost any dns host works.

1 Ramhost Atlanta VPS (main DNS)

dns.he.net

I would suggest using multiple DNS providers and more than 2 nameservers but I know many domain registrars only have 2 fields for nameservers.

Free "open-to-all" DNS service might attract DDoS though. Just look at what EveryDNS has suffered over the years.

Try this list, just for secondary nameservers: http://efball.com/dns/

hmm, just got me wondering. I have so many spare VPSes from RamHost, VooServers, QualityServers, QuickWeb, Hostigation etc that I can run a free DNS service. But the only issue is, I have never ran su

I'm tying in the DNS move with a server move on my personal sites.

afraid.org doesn't do DNS wildcards so I couldn't use them.
