Got it! Really great answer. Can I believe that a "colo" is just a
duplicate machine
somewhere else physically that has a replicated database of the local
authoritative
DNS? I'll imagine that these two machines spend their time keeping each
other up
to date......and handle DNS calls from the clients of the network to which
they are
attached....

Ideally you want to be in control of the authoritative
DNS servers for your
domains not going through a 3rd party. Just one less
thing for a 3rd party to FUBAR.
