My reading of

was that the company asked him to set up the company's content DNS
servers to provide content DNS service for his customers' domain 
names, because the company's content HTTP servers supported virtual 
hosting.  In other words: his company was providing _both_ content
HTTP _and_ content DNS hosting services to its customers.
