This is funny.  No, really.  :)  Last I checked, Linux was free and came bundled with countless
free software applications and tools.  Countless people put countless manhours into producing this
free environment, which -- not suprisingly -- spawns other "free mentality" projects.

People (like me) give into this free mentality and donate manhours and services back into this
community.  Secondary DNS is one such example.  Open Source projects (which I involve myself in
from time to time) is another.  It's all the same family of thought, and that's the
"open-mindedness" to which I refer; the same mindset that brought you Linux, and brought us
together on this free mailing list.  :)

There is nothing wrong with asking the question, "Is someone out there offering this service for
free?"

Now, I really don't want to engage any further in debate.  If you are aware of a Granite Canyon
workaround, or other free secondary DNS providers, please post.  Otherwise, please don't.  I'd
rather not become an "oh, that argumentative bastard" and instead just be the
usually-quiet-someone who might help you out next time around.  :)
