DNS was hosted with XO, no control options for us. They wanted the SOA to be with them so that their system could dynamically change IPs of pop/pop3/smtp/mail/www.ourdomain.com whenever their cluster IPs changed. This typically happened once a week and I then had to track what IPs changed and then make appropriate changes to our internal DNS.
Did you ever consider setting up your internal dns as a slave of xo, or using autoupdate scripts (a'la dynamic dns) for this?
Slave DNSs would work only if the provider allows un-authorized zone transfers or adds your host [or keys] as a secondary DNS server.
And there's nothing at all that stops you from running your own nameservers when you are colo'd with XO .. we have several large racks full of servers in their fremont datacenter.
Does XO extend that courtesy to clients who don't have several large racks full of servers in thier datacenters?
