I don't have any experience with this service, but the pricing looks
interesting.
Do you have an estimate for how much traffic you're going to be doing?
Apparently some queries are free ("Queries to Alias records that are mapped
to Elastic Load Balancers are free.") so if this applies to you then the
price goes down further for you.

Just comparing queries to queries, for example, I use dnsmadeeasy.com which
gives 25 domains and 10m queries/month for $60/year.
Pricing that out at Amazon (http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html)
says $17.50/month * 12 = $210/year so that's pretty pricey.
On the other hand, I'm currently only using 7 domains and 1m queries/month
which is $4/month * 12 = $48/year, so it's a little less expensive.
However, in the past I peaked at 8.6m and am averaging 4.2m queries/month
over the last 2 years.  That's $5.60/month * 12 = $67.20.  So it's a little
extra, but comparable.

If the pricing difference is small, and you're already using AWS, then it
probably makes sense.
