I'm sure it will. If you don't want to run your own primary/secondary

primary, secondary, and one on each of staff and student mail servers.
Personally if I were you I'd do my own DNS as
well, especially if you're
going to be connected 24 x 7. So what you're doing is creating your own
"POP" (Point of Presence)
I've got to agree here, while it's unlikely your ISP's DNS will fail,
having your own should allow for faster access I would think. I see you've not mentioned a firewall, are you
going to have all this
sitting naked on the internet? I *STRONGLY* recommend a Firewall running
OpenBSD!!!!!!!!!! Look at it this way, I'm a VMS type, not a BSD type,
and
my firewall runs OpenBSD.
Definitely!
