Whil, >> For those looking for DNS services (independent of their domain >> registrar), check out dnsmadeeasy.com.
> What's the advantage of having DNS independent of the registrar? Off the top of my head ... 1. Ability to switch domain registratars without switching DNS settings (yes, you still have to repoint a switched domain registrar's domains back to your dnsmadeeasy named server, but all your other dns settings can stay the same) 2. Re-point subdomains to other places 3. Support for dynamic IP for your domain 4. Fail over (if a specific service fails, automatically reroute to another service) 5. Failure tracking (you can have various services watched and be alerted when a specific service fails; i.e. receive an email warning when a http, ftp, or smtp service fails) Items 3, 4, and 5 are extra cost services from other vendors. dnsmadeeasy also offers backup email services as a separate set of products.
