Here's my third-party DNS seeder for available Zcash nodes

dig +noall +answer @zcash.cointel.pro zcnodes.cointel.pro | awk '{ print "addnode=" $5; }'

This is secondary to what’s operated at dnsseed.z.cash/mainnet.z.cash. You can help prevent network segmentation by adding a diverse variety of highly-available nodes to your zcash.conf.
