Are you after end-to-end Registrar services (i.e. register and manage subdomains in one place) or a DNS service for domains you have registered? If the latter, then why not use Bytemark? Or is that just one too many eggs in the same basket?
The former. As you say, I could use bytemark's nameservers (and I do) but I am sufficiently peeved with 1and1 to want to move my registration and ideally I'd like dns management to go with that registration (to allow me the flexibility to avoid the "too many eggs" possibility). To be honest, I'm also not sure of the implication of moving registrar without taking the new registrar's DNS services (I spy room for loss of service in confusion over who holds the NS records)
Of course I may be being worried unnecessarily - certainly bytemark are reliable (and tinydns doesn't frighten me).

The text file for RFC 854 contains exactly 854 lines. Do you think there is any cosmic significance in this?
