haha, redirecting public DNS works very nicely as you well know Steve, and it knocks off most of those “why is my youtube so crap” helpdesk calls that people make when someone has helpfully set 8.8.8.8 for them. I know people have almost religious meltdown’s about such things, but when the ISP’s DNS servers actually work properly its not really an issue for your average retail home user.
