The thing about DNS servers is that you can use any
DNS server that is out there. DNS servers don't
restrict anybody from accessing them.
While I don't know any DNS servers in the UK, I do
know of some in the US. 198.6.1.1 is UUNET in Ashburn
VA and 198.6.1.122 is NY for UUNET.
You may want to do some experimenting using nslookup,
which is a command line tool that will allow you to
perform all sorts of tests against a domain. If you do
an nslookup www.yahoo.com, you will query your DNS
server and show you what it is, along with the IP of
Yahoo!.
You can use the nslookup program to do all sorts of
other powerful things...type nslookup, then hit enter.
Then type help and see all the cool things it can do!
