That's what I've been told to do - and what I advise everybody else. If
you don't have a real DNS server on your LAN (and this does not include a
DNS relay on your NAT router), leave the DNS service off.

I have it left off even using mutiple DNS servers on my LAN. I'd rather have
100% name resolution rather than the mess that sometimes appears when the
DNS Client service is running.
