DNS question

[Amos Shapira]

I wasn't suggesting that you should make money from it but if you want a
*reliable* highly available DNS setup then you might be better off paying
someone else to do that for you instead of having this liability on top of
what you are actually get paid for.
I know that setting up a secondary DNS server could be a 5 minute exercise
in the right hands (and I suppose this applies to you), but when things
break you could end up stopping work on more important stuff (from business
perspective) to find and fix a problem someone else could look at for you
for a relatively small sum.
