I definitely agree. I use my registrar purely as a registrar. They offer 
DNS and e-mail hosting (maybe even some web space, i don't remember) but 
i don't use those. It is easy enough to host my own.

That's also the direction i'm moving towards. I have 1 Linode right now 
that does web and secondary DNS. I still run my primary DNS at home, but 
as soon as i get around to spinning up another Linode, then i'll have 
public DNS completely outside. I'll keep my master at home, but hide it 
you've suggested.

Just curious, which DNS software have you settled on for your public 
servers? I'm still using Bind, but it seems like overkill for such a 
task.
