I'm going to call speedfactory this morning.  I was having some really 
slow resolving a while back, and they gave me some new dns servers. 
They then called me last week and asked me to return to the old ones, 
since then, resolving is slow again.

I'm going to wait until regular business hours, I'll post to the list 
what the response is.
