You can always plug in a tertiary DNS server IP, from some other net.
I use one from an ISP that I know, theirs is practically never down.
As to mail, I see temporary interruptions, but nothing to get upset about.
My biggest problem was an intermittent service drop, which was finally
replaced.

I would have a link to http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?KC6ETE-9 here
in my signature line, but due to the inability of sysadmins at TELOCITY to
differentiate a signature line from the text of an email, I am forbidden to
have it.
