You're right of course.  Since we restart our nameservers with each
zone-file addition, deletion or change, it's a non-issue if you host DNS
with us.  And of course it's a non-issue if you host your own DNS
(presuming you do it correctly), because you can restart it whenever you
choose.

And for you old-timers who remember when rstarting DNS was an issue, let
me point out that now that hardware is fast enough, restarting a DNS
server happens well within any DNS timeout period, and will, at
worst-case scenario, result in a DNS resolution delay of less than a
second.

That's our story and we're sticking to it <smile>.
