Why do you register the domains with them, then?

Can't you register the domains yourself, and then host DNS for them
anywhere?

We offer a commercial DNS service that's fairly reasonable (contact
offlist if interested); others on this list will no doubt share with you
for free.

Don't use 7k2.net to register the domains.  Set up anything you want as
the DNS.

The only problem I can see is if they actually block traffic for domains
for which they don't host DNS.  Doing this is possible, but (since
they'd have to read the contents of every packet) super-slow.  I don't
think they do this.

If they do, and if they haven't told you so in advance, then they may
very well be committing fraud (they most likely would be if they were
doing this in the U.S.); you might want to contact a local solicitor.
