If anyone is offering an API on their private clusters, it would make a lot of sense to clone the API(or a subset) of the big dns providers' APIs.

Duh, just started writing my own DNS cluster. This gives me a thought if DDoS Mitigation is necessary on my nodes...

rackspace dns has api and it's free.

+1 I have all my domains on CF .. perhaps no longer such a good idea to use a single DNS provider given what happened to Dyn on Friday ..

Google Cloud DNS (has API as well as control panel). My new favorite - moved all my stuff over from Route53 DNS, cutting cost by almost 50% (per hosted domain is half the price).

On the DB side, even the smallest 512MB nodes didn't go below ~200MB free RAM under load. And they're doing other stuff - mail, DNS, etc.

I have something like 50+ sites on Cloudflare just using their free DNS, works great and I rarely have any issues.

@miamiconsultant offers a similar plan in NC, $1.25/mo, although only 10GB disk (for DNS server that should suffice though).
