The Public DNS Service
“This is a public service provided by Granite Canyon Group, LLC. The Service offers both primary and secondary DNS free of charge to anyone who asks. The Service maintains UPS protected FreeBSD servers that satisfy DNS queries. The Public DNS is useful if you: Can’t get free service from an ISP and don’t want to do it yourself, Need secondary DNS servers, Need MX records for a virtual domain, Want control over your DNS records: change DNS frequently, changing ISPs soon, Are inside of a firewall and need publicly-accessible name servers outside of your firewall, Need name servers that are closer to the North American Internet backbones.”
