| I guess is their BIND update in response to the recent DNS exploit. If you use BIND (and most probably don't) its pretty important to get it quickly. |

I bookmarked the DNS-OARC test at the bottom. That said, I use OpenDNS for my nameservers. I don't trust AT&T to jump on these issues fast enough.

| I switched to OpenDNS about a year ago. My Verizon name servers were very problematic and slow. |
