Verizon used to recommend them for new DSL configurations in Northern VA. I use these all the time (though my local NetWare servers all do DNS, so I point there, first.

AFAIK, while you may enter any number of DNS addresses in resolv2, only the first three get used. You can test this by making two bogus entries for the top ones & then running NSLOOKUP. ___ Lewis G Rosenthal Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Sent with SnapperMail
