that sounds like an excellent way of doing it!  and don't forget .org,
.info and ...ah nuts-- ".ns" isn't an ISO country code so no TLD!  oh
well, too bad :-)

but seriously.  geographic and (upstream network provider) redundancy
would be nice as well.  David, isn't EveryDNS hosted in Hurricane
Electric's colo facility on the west coast?  ...someone clued me in that
HE also has a colo location in NYC not far from me...
