I forgot to mention that assuming ZoneEdit makes money off their DNS 
hosting you can hope they'll be around longer than Granite Canyon.

It's possible that you could direct them to set up the secondary DNS on 
ZoneEdit.  You probably wouldn't be buying in bulk then, each would pay 
his own way.  But if they have less than 6 domains they don't have to 
pay, assuming they can handle setting up ZoneEdit.

I hope you find someone on this list to pair up with.  But if not, all 
your friends really need is a switch and an always on connection that 
you can install a server on (well, a static IP, an AUP that allows a DNS 
server, close enough for you to visit, and so on...)  So by the time 
you've found all that maybe paying isn't such a bad deal.
