Is there a good reason to disable the SQL Server Browser if you are going to accept remote connections?

SQL Server browser is used to locate named instances of SQL Server on the host. Are you using any named instances on the server?

If your SQL Server Instance will not be accepting remote connections (connections not comming from the machine the instance is on) then there is no reason to have the Browser turned on since it is only there to help with connections to named instances.

The particular instance I'm looking at does have named instances. However it also has 3 additional DNS entries (one for each instance) and is set up with each of those entries being port 1433. Thus you can connect to the instances even without the browser turned on. I had to turn on the browser to deal with a DTS problem but want to make sure I'm not opening up security issues (or something else) that I'm not expecting.
