DNS question

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Well, the story goes like this:

I hosted few domains in afraid.org as a "premium" user, until I found few
days ago that this service has some issues, so I thought to test a DNS
service of mine. I'm not looking for something like AnyCast stuff which was
mentioned here. I already got servers in US and EU which serves other
clients, so setting up a small VPS on them for DNS service (as slaves) is
not an issue.

As for business side that Amos mentioned here: This setup is just for my
domains. I'm not going to compete against any big companies who offer DNS
management. If all works well and I'll find a business justification for it,
I'll hire one of the people in this list to check the setup and another
person to write a web front-end, but it's really just for testing at the
moment.

Currently I'm sick and tired of DNS management crap from many competing
Israeli companies. I just moved a web site to one of my clients and we
waited 72 hours for a DNS change and it didn't happened, and I had to waste
3 hours on the phone to explain to the support guy about records changing,
DKIM etc.

Thanks,
Hetz
