Sounds fairly easy to me - as long as you avoid the mistake of having
the DNS not under your control.  Which will always make problems anyway -
just imagine having high load on one of your servers, and wanting to 
move those domains hosted there to other servers with less load.

So what you saying is "because of not-so-good planning on the side of
the hosting provider, the whole world needs to reserve some memory in 
their routers to route their /28"?
