I've been pondering git-dns.io for a while - storing DNS in git and using hooks to trigger rebuilds. Unfortunately most of the DNS resellers are expensive, and using Amazon means your hosted domains get given "random nameservers", which complicates the setup for somebody importing lots of domains.
I'd love to be able to say "Use a/b/c.git-dns.io" for the nameservers, but all the resellers of DNS make you pay a lot of cash up-front for vanity nameservers, which I think would make the thing unprofitable.
(Running bind/tinydns on three toy virtual machines around the world would work - but DNS-servers are traditionally a DoS magnet, so I know I'd get taken down sooner or later if I went down that path.)
Yes I looked at several companies looking to see who I could use as a back-end, LuaDNS jumped out because I've an interest in Lua, but it seemed more like they'd be a competitor than a back-end provider.
That said I think I pretty much shelved the idea when I considered how hard it would be to get paying customers.
