DNS Servers

[Keith Smith]

I'm running bind, does that change my question?  I was talking about the 
two DNS servers that are part of the network Config.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04lts

/etc/network/interfaces contains a line :

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

These are the name servers I asking about.  Sorry for any confusion.


Kevin Fries, on another project I've been using ZoneEdit for maybe 3 
years with only a problems. Have not had an issue in maybe 2 years. 
Interface is easy to understand and pricing seems reasonable.
