I take it you're being ironic? These days, if you want to get serious
about controlling your own domains and not relying on other people's
server infrastructure, all it takes to run a pair of nameservers (that's
the minimum due to IP address range constraints) is the raw knowledge
how to do it and about $10, or local currency equivalent, for two
virtual servers. DNSSEC, key-based server synchronisation, the works.
One might say that the more people run their own nameservers, the harder
it gets for attackers to gather data or interfere with the DNS system.
