Fair enough, but if his situation for phone dialling is expensive, a caching
nameserver could save him quite a few unnecessary dial-ups for nslookups if
later he wants to go with something like diald no?

I just found that named doesn't tax the system too much and lookups are a
hell of a lot faster.

My $0.05 (sorry, 0.02 has been abolished over here)
