Rackspace Cloud DNS?

I recently stumbled upon Rackspace Cloud DNS. I remember hearing about its release a while back but didn't know that it was available and free for non-Rackspace customers.

Does anyone have any experience with it?

    If it's anything like their previous Cloud Servers DNS panel, the interface is a little slow to use. I remember you had to leave the page in between each record, so if you have any amount of records, it would take some time to add them all.

    LIke @NanoG6 states, I have an account, a CC on file, using one Cloud Files bucket (which is empty) hence I am not billed and started using their service. It was slow to handle all the records migration and such as @jhadley explained.

    I am testing out @gbshouse's RAGE4 and so far its good.

    Does anyone know if they provide 4 different NS on different TLDs with points on all continents like AWS Route53?

    Softlayer has a free DNS service as well?

    extns is abandoned hobby project :(

    I am not maintaining extns.net - so I really wouldn't use it for production if I was you. It should be up and running again now though.
