My boss has started talking about using Amazon's hosted DNS solution.  On paper it sounds great, anybody use it?  And how does it stack up against those mentioned here.  I have always used OpenDNS, with great luck, but Amazon's redundancy built in solution sounds solid.

Thank you Stephen and Michael!!

Sense I am running a server connected to Cox, is there any advantage of using Cox's DNS servers?

Thanks!!

So I still use the same dns server in phoenix and dallas they had when
they took over from @home/work, 68.2.16.30 and 68.1.208.30.  These
were old farm vips of e220 solaris boxen that served from the dark
days, and remain (hopefully as not those same slowaris boxen) somewhat
unhampered as so much internal stuff uses them too.  Sort of like
their old green-screen terminal crm they still use internally...

I specifically don't use their dhcp-fed servers, as those are
intercepted for their ridiculous cox search page.  I somewhat take
offense to it actually, I consider it a man in the middle attack.
Those old vip's don't do that.

Otherwise, you feed google's analytics engines with dns queries. Pick
your evil marketing engine doing creative business intelligence
analystics against your search queries.  Sadly I'm always searching
google, so I might as well feed them my dns too, but I don't.

Hi,

I'm configuring a web server on my Cox business connection.  I used Google's DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 on the box.

I'm now wondering if I should use Cox's DNS servers.

Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Thanks
Keith
