  From what I've been able to gather via Google Groups for "Comcast
DNS dynamic", this is a notification that Comcast is taking some of
their older full-service resolvers ("DNS servers") offline.  If you've
manually configured your client resolver ("network settings") to use
those servers, you will need to manually update your configuration as
well.  The typical customer who uses DHCP to configure their resolver
would never notice.

  Since you state you're not using Comcast's resolvers at all, you
shouldn't notice, either.

  Unless Comcast is planning on blocking UDP port 53.  I've
encountered ISPs who do that.  Never could figure out why.
