</div>I've always used Level3's servers (4.2.2.1-6, IIRC) because my ISP<br>
intercepts NXDOMAIN. Is there a reason why I should switch? Does anyone<br>
have any experience on Level3's servers? I've never had any problems,<br>
but then I don't know anything about them with regards to data<br>
retention, etc...<br>
<br>
It would be very nice if there was a caching nameserver that could<br>
resolve via tor-resolve, making multiple queries to weed out<br>
censored/malicious results. Does anyone see any immediate problems with<br>
this, or know of anything like it?<br>
