All my colo provider does is stick my box into his T1 and grants me 5 IPs.

Your > hosting company or co-lo probably maintains your dns records. I don't believe your statement is true. If I register a new domain name, attempts to access that domain name via the web will never get directed to my server unless I provide my DNS server names (on my server) AND I create new "A records" in the DNS console on my server. I can't believe it is necessary to have to bother the company that provides me with the colo T1 connection everytime I want to add a new domain to my dedicated server and have them create a new DNS record for me.
