You could use the UltraDNS from Neustar services [1]. It WILL cost you :-)
But I guess those guys know what they're doing: They run one of the root DNS
servers of the Internet... they provide DNS service to some major companies
out there, including Amazon.com. They use Anycast to take the queries to
network-wise close locations, so they'll be answered fast and also limit the
effect of DoS attacks to only the part of the world where the attack came
from.
