[NTLUG:Discuss] DNS Woes.

[lee]

http://www.zoneedit.com/ offers dns service for up to 5 domains for 
free.  i myself have not used it but i've seen it recommended many 
places.  i'm not completely happy with granitecanyon, but it is free, 
and my disappointment with them has not yet warranted a dns service 
switch yet.  if it gets to the point where i do need to switch, i'll be 
heading to zoneedit.com to try my luck there.
