When I moved my server a little more than a year ago I decided that I would try to get away from System Admin tasks by offloading services where possible. The first one to go was DNS. DNS is simple to manage, but just one more thing to look after. I had bought into the marketing hype about having off-site DNS so I decided to try a third party DNS. Unfortunately, having a service that many people rely on for ALL their services is just a target for attackers. After several DDos attacks with at least two providers I decided it was time to manage my own DNS again.

After my DNS was all setup I decided to retain those other third party people for my DNS secondary. After nearly a week of frustration I discovered one very important thing - not everyone that CAN program a computer SHOULD program a computer.
