Virtually every time you click on a link, your browser will have to check out with Winnersh first. Causing unnecessary, traffic, unnecessary delay and unnecessary all-your-eggs-in-one-basket-ness.
194.168.4.100 is in Guildford, 194.168.8.100 is in Winnersh - doesn't seem that 'all-your-eggs-in-one-basket' like to me.

The uBRs can't do DNS because they are routers, not servers.

Webcaches might be able to fulfill all your DNS needs though.
