Same here; nac.net would be willing to host any secondary DNS for anyone,
specifically TLDs or foreign folks. Foreign to the US, that is :-)

Amen, except it can be misleading.

   NS1.NAC.NET                  207.99.0.1
   NS2.NAC.NET                  207.99.0.2
   NS6.NAC.NET                  209.123.20.243

Whilst 207.99.0.1 and .2 are on the same /24 (obviously), 207.99.0/24 is
subnetted to 256 /32's, and routed to the machines. Why? So, when a
machine/name-server moves within our network, it doesn't have to be
renumbered.
