DNS doesn't require you to use a glue records though you can just provide name and the resolver will another query to figure the IP.
It's of course less efficient and probably you shouldn't do it, but DNS itself doesn't stop you from that.
As for authoritative servers what I did in the past is essentially working together with friends, I was backup name server for their domains and they were backup for mine.
There are also some free public DNS servers as well.
- dboreham 9y agoTrue. I didn't mention that because as you say you shouldn't do it. A big problem with free/cheap DNS services is that (as far as I have seen) they do not support either secondaries off their network, nor being a secondary to some other primary. So you end up in an all-or-nothing situation where you either rely entirely on one provider, or you have to host yourself.
