[TriLUG] public namservers & road runner dns ips

[Ben Pitzer]

All RR users who are not using dynamic DNS should be pointing their DNS to
24.25.5.150.  That's all, just one IP.  They're doing a load balancing thing
now that seems to work pretty well.  You can always add a secondary (which I
would probably recommend) to a public nameserver, just in case, but you'll
very rarely ever need it.
