Public end-user nameservers...



You don't need to use your ISP's name servers (except for names that only 
exist within their network). Using your ISP's name servers should be more 
efficient than using a name server outside your network. One generic name 
server is 4.2.2.1 is BBN. (Actually Verizon).
When I boot up in MIT I use the MIT name servers:
nameserver 18.70.0.160         ; w20ns.mit.edu
nameserver 18.71.0.151         ; strawb.mit.edu
nameserver 18.72.0.3           ; bitsy.mit.edu
