My problem is that the server I use for DNS keeps going dead. My ISP is most familiar with windows users who get their DNS automatically from their connection. When my ISP gives me a good DNS server number, it seems to go dead six months later, and I have to call them again. Is there a way to get DNS automatically, say from the DHCP connection IP address given to me? or, is there some great free DNS server that will stay in business for some time that I can plug into my resolv.conf? I am in Toronto, Canada so I guess a DNS should be in reasonable proximity. --
