I've been using the Zerigo add-on to manage our DNS, and it's actually a pretty slick service. But suppose Heroku is having an hours-long outage, let's say. Just spitballin' here. And suppose I want to point my domain somewhere else temporarily. I could do that with Zerigo, but since I always get to Zerigo via the Heroku console -- which in this scenario would be down -- how might I edit my DNS? Heroku has presumably set up a zerigo account for me, but the account info (if any) is in the inaccessible Heroku config.
Logging in directly at zerigo.com doesn't work -- they don't recognize my email address. And a Zerigo support person says the only way a user of the Heroku add-on can modify DNS is to log in through Heroku. So I'm out of luck for now. But how might I work around this in the future? Could I just use zerigo on my own and forget the add-on? What's it really doing for me besides telling zerigo about new domains that I add to my app and CNAME'ing them to proxy.heroku.com? I'd gladly do that myself if it meant I were free to use the service when Heroku's tools are down. Thoughts?
