EveryDNS will do secondary DNS for you for free. I run a DNS server and have them configured as slaves, but I tell the world only about them.

We run our own DNS, although it's not good practice I host my DNS on my linode in freemont with my website since if the box is down they wont be able to get to my site anyways so DNS doesn't really matter. But for the one my friends and I share that's in ThePlanet it is also running as master for it's zones and then my linode in Freemont is running as a slave for backup.


I have Backup MX, so DNS while my linode is down is *very* important.

Also important to note, DNS lookup failures usually are an immediate bounce, but "timeout" errors usually get a few retries.

Food for thought.


Eh, like i said before, or implied before, i got nothing of importance on my linode, so if I dont get my spam for a day or two, I dont really care much :)

Well thats up to you.

But you can set up secondary DNS for no money and it may stop you losing that all important job offer, your flight confirmations, an email from an old friend you have not seen for years, or that mail from your dream girl who finally worked up the courage to email you.

I use ZoneEdit, free for up to 5 domains and backup MX is inexpensive. It's worked well for me for the last four years.

I'm finding it hard to believe you havent heard of the first site when you search Free DNS on Google.

http://freedns.afraid.org

Free, lots of features, 4 nameservers of redundancy.

BTW. I run my own. I have one Linode and one beta Xen node.
I'm good with BIND. ;)
