Absolutely.

I used to run DNS for AGIS (no flames, please, I quit), and we used
FreeBSD for our nameservers.  We did DNS for millions of users, including
some RBOCs.

One nameserver at a remote location stayed up for over eight months; I
finally rebooted it out of sheer cussedness. 

The only reason the others didn't stay up that long is that I experimented
on them.  :) 

FreeBSD rocks on DNS.

Michael
