Moving..stay with DSL, go cable?



Sorry I missed something in my explanation.  I have a friend who runs a DNS
server, he is listed as my primary DNS Server and I use centralinfo.net as
secondary and tirsiary (sp) DNS Servers.  This allows me not to use the TZO
system for my DNS Servers.  With the Premier service, they control the DNS
Servers and you use their servers.  By utlizing a friends server for the
primary and the centralinfo for the 2nd and 3rd, and having the Internet look
to Centralinfo first and second, I limit the bandwidth to my friends server
(he's happy) and I don't have to use TZO's service and I can use the free
centralinfo (for non-primary dns servers).  My mistake, I didn't mention this
quirk earlier.
