Re: [cobalt-users] Digital Nation DNS confusion NEED HELP PLEASE!

["Ky Luong" <mage@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any drawback on running my own DNS service? Just wondering because
I am new to this (DNS). Still I would like to run my own DNS and love to
lean new things. Could you please guide me through this.

Thanks for any help you can give out!
