Is it possible for one to configure BIND or any DNS implementation for the cloud?
I was forced to search for this forum because the exigences of my situation necessitates a cloud. But yet, in a cloud:
1. I cannot be systems administrator, even if, I don't know yet, if the company can give me administrator privileges.
2. The IP address of the machine will not possibly be my own because the machine will be shared by numerous subscribers to the cloud infrastructure. 
3. I know that like all other users, i will be given set of user privileges that are restrictive.
So, i am doubtful if my intentions are possible?
Although, the domain name and zone administration recourses to me.
With this constraints, is it possible for cloud DNS to be possible? I have this site in mind: polarhome.com, where i intend paying for server space.
thanks

Hi David,

Cloud DNS is not only possible, but desirable in many cases.  A large anycasted provider can provide better latency and availability than most organizations.

If you're looking for a hosted DNS solution, most will accept NOTIFY packets from a BIND instance.  If you're just looking to run a nameserver hosted in EC2/Rackspace/etc., you can install whatever DNS server you like--you're managing the box yourself.
