I think you'd be hard pressed to find more than a tenth of a percent of people attempt to run their own DNS server. Some do because they think it'll be better in some way. Rare is the occasion where anything user configured would outperform a local DNS server managed by the ISP that does no form of trickery.
I suspect it's higher than that, because of the fraction of edge routers which do DNS masquerading. Since that caches, I'm assuming it's a recursor, rather than merely a pass-through, though I suppose it might be implementation dependent. And *most* eyeball customer resolver servers engage in search stupidity now, don't they? :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
