I would assume that he has one or more domains and needs control over the dns, 
more control than he might get if he farmed that service out to an ISP.

I plan on setting up an Internet accessible dns server at home as well.  I 
host a (small) bunch of domains on coloed servers and right now I use 
backupdns.com (very cheap and fairly reliable) as my secondary dns server.  I 
plan on moving secondary dns service to my house because I can, because it 
will save me a few dollars a month and because it gives me a good excuse to 
learn a new DNS server (nsd).
