I could use the bind backend and slave each of the OpenNic domains (e.g. .free, .geek etc) separately so I become authoritative for them and anything else (e.g. <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google.com</a>) gets passed to the recursor. I tried this on bind and this can be achieved by doing:<br>

<br>
</div>You can say 'free=ip.address' and subdomains will follow.<br>

> 3. I could set the recursor to use OpenNic root hints. I tried this before and obviously performance is not as good as normal (i.e. without their root hints). It would also mean I have to keep an eye on the hints file to make sure it is up to date.<br>
<br>
</div>Performance should not differ a lot unless their (tier1) root servers are very slow.<br>
