Philip, If you have an IP address for your sites (whether one main IP and using hostheaders, or a dedicated IP per site) all you need to do is use this IP address in the DNS manager provided by any of those registrars... We have several hosting customers that desire to leave DNS on register.com (instead of pointing DNS control over to our DNS servers), and using their web-based management is pretty simple to use....
