It seems my free-as-in-beer secondary DNS service, EveryDNS.net, has 
abandoned WikiLeaks, so I'd like to return the favour.

Given the (general) support of WikiLeaks here, I was wondering if anyone 
could recommend a free alternative to replace EveryDNS.net?

I know how to use Google to find free alternatives, I'm looking for 
*recommendations* for a simple two-domain home network.

Thanks in advance,

- Scott

I'm not sure how these will work from CA. I'm also unaware of their 
stance on wikileaks.

Level 3
   4.2.2.1
   4.2.2.2

OpenDNS (if you can cope with their non-standard way of dealing with DNS 
misses, etc.)
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220

Since you are already using Google, you probably won't mind using...
google.

google's dns hosting would be great except for the minor inconvenience
of google not hosting other people's DNS...

Hello.
I would recommend https://www.xname.org/index.php
they are free, stable, and work greate for me for many years :)
I also use http://www.twisted4life.com because of interesting server 
location, also free, and also good for many years for me :)

Sure, should get some sleep before reading, posting and mistaking
requests about secondary DNS services with requests about resolvers...

Unfortunately wikileaks exposure causes insomnia.

I don't care much for the propaganda on this list as of late, but,
regardless, I've been happily using http://freedns.afraid.org for home
use for several years.

To the folks that replied on- and off-list with their 
_recommendations_ from personal experience, thank-you very much!  That's 
exactly what I was looking for.  I'm doing my due diligence and will 
investigate them all.

For the folks that replied with alternatives but no actual 
recommendation, thanks anyway. :)  At least you tried.

Regards,

- Scott

1) Get a free tunnelbroker.net account from Hurricane Electric
by signing up.

2) secondary up to 25 domains using that account, for free, on DNS
servers that are geographically diverse and ipv6 enabled.

3) if you're feeling lucky, use two of your five free tunnels to have an
endpoint in the USA (to see streaming media available only in the USA)
and the UK (to use BBC iplayer).  Of course, the tunnels are meant for
you to have ipv6 anywhere.  I just consider that a bonus. :)
