The plan is to set two DNS servers, zwinger.wikipedia.org, and joey.bomis.com. I was going to make this change yesterday, but there was some strangeness (I couldn't 'dig @zwinger.wikipedia.org www.wikipedia.org').
Mind the 'm' ;-) 'dig @zwinger.wikimedia.org www.wikipedia.org any' works better.
Arne has his point of course- two squids configured for failover would be better, especially as the german hoster is a rather cheap one. No reboots during the weekend for example... A short dns timeout would keep the downtime low in case the machine disappears, but some isps apparently don't care about dns ttl's.
