That will work as well, however, when you make a change to DNS, depending
on the ISP, (cough AOL) those changes may or may not be seen as fast as you
like.

I generally add some others as 2 and 3 in case my DNS server were to ever
misbehave. On my personal machine, I enter in only my DNS, that way if it
ever does misbehave, I am the first to know, usually.
