dns at home

[Derek Trotter]

Since I signed up with my ISP I've had trouble with dns.  Sometimes urls 
take a long time to resolve.  Other times I get errors saying the url 
couldn't be found.  Sometimes a page won't load properly because parts 
of it come from other urls and those don't resolve. Calls to tech 
support are a waste of time.  So I want to host dns at home.
