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.

No, this is somewhat arcane, but depending on what functions you want, can be quite simple.  DNS works by reference, so you don't load the world's DNS onto your server.  That server will still need valid external DNS servers.

I prefer BIND, myself.  I have friends that enjoy PowerDNS.  What exact uses are you trying to get out of it?

I'm thinking of running dns at home on my linux box(kubuntu 8).  I don't want a caching server.  Would this be difficult to set up?  Would this consume a lot of bandwidth?

Thanks
