What is the advantage, if any, of running one's own DNS server? Surely the link between domain name and IP address must already have been established?
As others have said, it depends on your circumstances and what you want to achieve. In my case I run dnsmasq on my home network, configured to use my ISP's DNS server as its upstream. For me the advantages are that it allows me to address connected devices by name and to see at a glance what devices are connected.
