Well, since I don't know about the suggested provider, here's my concern - let's say I manage your DNS on my servers, and you want to provide your own local servers. How do you get a copy of the latest zone? Your IP must be listed in my server so that it is allowd to perform AXFR queries.
Do you know how DNS works? Slaves don't just ask for a transfer willy- nilly. Slaves are known to the primary and they get told when to ask.
They will also probably provide us with 3-4 hosts which we can use for DNS. If You, me, and one other person each contribute two IP addresses on different network, that puts the zope.org zone in pretty good shape, because various caching nameservers will handle the trouble of determining which authoritative record is best for them to use. DNS may seem like a low-load service, but if you were to run a DNS provider yourself on a single machine, I challenge you to maintain 90% uptime. The last time I worked on a large DNS implementation we had twelve machines in each of two geographic locations - dual xeon machines with lots of RAM that did nothing but handle round-robin DNS queries.
I have no idea what you are talking about. This is not some huge DNS service that we need. We need to serve exactly one zone. This can be done from a Palm Pilot, to be honest. I have run DNS services for years and years and don't share any of your doubts.
