I ran my own DNS server from my own home DSL static IP address 10+ years ago. It's fairly innocuous as long as you only respond to DNS requests for your own domain and don't forward requests. But it ends up being more hassle than its worth. As recently as a few months ago, I hosted my own DNS server on a Linksys SLUG, but after I suffered a power outage and realized that there's no reason for hosting this stuff myself, I just decided to use namecheap.com for their Free DNS service.
