[CS-FSLUG] free dns hosting

[James W. Thompson, II]

I highly recommend Everydns.net

They are a completely free primary or secondary DNS provider. I use
them for some of my sites. They are the only completely free DNS
service I am aware of that is user friendly and reliable.

Also check out soa.granitecanyon.com

I find their interface quite clunky though....
