I've used zoneedit.com for years and have never had a problem.

May not be good for mail. If your server is down and someone tries to send 
you mail and the dns lookup fails would the sending mailserver mark it as 
a failure immediately? As opposed to, if your dns server was elsewhere, 
then since dns lookup succeeds the sending mailserver will requeue the 
mail until your mailserver is up again.

It would be a more secure choice than bind :)
