I always run my own DNS server at home, and skip the ones provided by
Comcast (or any other provider, really). It's so easy, provided you have
a system running 24/7 somewhere on the network. Most distributions
provide some sort of plug-and-play recursive resolver, you just need to
install it and turn it on.
