Public end-user nameservers...



FWIW 4.2.2.1, 2 and 3 are regionally redundant caching only nameservers owned
and managed by Genuity Solutions (formerly BBN, but not owned by Verizon).  It
looks like we are being bought by Level 3 of Colorado and will maintain a
"close" business relationship with Verizon.

Interesting to know that Verizon's DSL service is less than ideal for lack of
nameservices :-) and I agree with the posters who suggest doing your own or
using your ISP's servers (if they are reliable).  Good luck!
