My ISP's DNS server seems to have gone a bit funny recently. It's working
but certain domains just aren't resolving.

I'm on fast24. Anyone know of a good fast free public DNS service?

Thanks in advance

Due to the way ISPs DNS sits on the outside of an ISPs network, most
(all?) are available for anyone to use.

Take a ganders at http://ss.uk-bug.net and pick one of the many listed.

Same as the other guy, I now use TreeWalk http://www.ntcanuck.com/ (due to
the crappyness of BTOW's DNS servers)

You can run it and forget, or if you want a bit more control you can
customise the config file in detail.
(Even lets you update your root hints from different root service providers
oooooooo)
