I highly suggest looking into http://everydns.net for DNS hosting.  Same 
guys behind the OpenDNS service run this (though the EveryDNS service is 
much older and more mature).

I sent a one time donation to EveryDNS, something small (don't recall 
off the top of my head) and since then have been allowed to host all of 
my zones there without any limits.

Make sure your nameservers are on different networks from one another. 
Sounds self-evident when you read it but a number of otherwise smart 
folks have been bitten by that before.
