Having seen a lot cons and little pros, here is my scenario: I am running my own root, a copy of the Cesidan Root plus some TLDs of my own liking, some shared with "friends" who dont want to risk cache poisoning. I am runnings both djbdns (dnscache with tinydns and axfrdns as root) and Bind 9.4.0.a6 I have seen that my own nameservers are always faster than my ISP's. I like the idea of catching the phishermen before they can catch me, although I am not running Phishermans friend (windows eXPerimental). I have seen with my own eyes on a windowssystem OpenDNS is a MUST. Even if I dont click on install or execute... and I do not trust open MACs too very much either. I do not neccessarily improove speed when using OpenDNS and I am not shure wether I want OpenDNS decide between typos and alt. TLDs. But I still want to catch the phishermen. Does it make sense for me and the mine?
