Hi Clemens,

I think you meant to say "Hi Mark"? - I am not the OP.  Since Mark has many 
addresses/hosts to lookup then a local caching nameserver will definitely 
reduce traffic to the DNS servers, but every now and then it'll need some 
maintenance (i.e. refreshing the list of the root servers).  I guess it's one 
more thing to look after.
