[SunRescue] Dont feel like running BIND for 10 systems

With all the discussion about DNS going on, I thought I'd ask for any
opinions on free or cheap DNS providers.

Heres my situation. I have plenty of static IP's available to me, and a
varying amount of machines connected to the et at any one time. I own
several domains, which I currently have hosted at yahoo (I used to use
simplenet, which yahoo bought)and I don't particularly want to change that,
but I would like to be able to access my systems via hostname, and just as
important, to be able to get reverse lookup (some sites and/or protocols
require it)

I realize I can just set my own system to be the primary DNS for my domains
and then jsut redierct to my hosting provider, but I don't feel like having
to set up BIND for 10 machines, and I REALLY don't feel like having my site
be inaccessible to normal folks if PacBell decides to cut my internet line
again.

So what I'm thinking is using a third party DNS provider, preferably free or
cheap to do the same thing. I dont want to do it using differnet subdomains
for my home and co-located sites either.

Anyone have recommendations or experiences with any of these folks?
