Not slower to run a caching server, slower to just forward the lookup
requests.  I don't run a caching server..I just had the NAT box forwarding
the connection.  Although it wasn't too bad on DSL, DNS took a bit to long
when our line got busy with stuff (like 128k mp3 streams ;) ).

yes i am considering this altho the dns servers are often different between
logins. i guess i can lock my configs down to one or two of my isp dns
servers
but then i'm at their mercy if they decide to change things around. my other
thought was to set up a caching server at home but that is slower you say?
