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 |
| 12 |
you mail and the dns lookup fails would the sending mailserver mark it as |
| 13 |
a failure immediately? As opposed to, if your dns server was elsewhere, |
| 14 |
then since dns lookup succeeds the sending mailserver will requeue the |
| 15 |
mail until your mailserver is up again. |

It would be a more secure choice than bind :) |
