In a nutshell: is there a DNS service suited for domainers?
A few months ago I switched nearly 1000 domains to Above.com with the promise they would optimize traffic among various parking services.
While they do have some advantages, their DNS servers fail occasionaly and for a domainer this means money lost. Complaining doesn't help much since they are a free service.
I began looking for a DNS company that would allow me to host an unlimited number of domains and forward everything to Above.com. This way, if Above ever fails I could quickly redirect the traffic to the PPC company of my choice.
I am no DNS expert, but it seems most services out there are suited for people owning only a couple domains, and come with features I absolutely don't need (email forwarding, aliases, etc). These same services charge as high as $2,000/year for handling 1k domains.
Also, does anyone know how to create an "alias" for DNS servers so that I can use ns1.mydomain.com instead of the actual DNS address? I tried creating a CNAME record but the registrar refused accepting it ("DNS Error: Canonical Name").
