A month or so ago I read in comp.risks a message from a guy, who had a
home computer that was the primary DNS server for his domain.  So he
wrote a message to some popular moderated mailing list.  He claims
that once the moderator approved his message, and it started to go out
to all the subscribers, their mail servers started resolving his domain
name (which wasn't in anybody's cache), to the point that his Pentium
(or whatever) computer could not handle it and crashed a few times.

Would anybody care to comment on this?  Anyone running their own
primary DNS off a home computer on a cable modem/DSL line?
