Best DNS Configuration

What kind of DNS setup do you guys run? As you know, if DNS goes down then so do a lot of sites that you handle DNS for. The only lucky few who escape are those who handle their own DNS. Of course, if you have a secondary DNS or tertiary (SP?) then this can help a lot depending if you are in the same DC as the issues.

We run a couple of DNS servers and I am thinking of adding a 3rd at another location, so that if one location's DNS goes down then things still run better.
 
For shared hosting we use 2 DNS servers on two physical servers, for a dedicated plan DNS server is placed on the same physical server that the site is on.
