As am I, I also get a little annoyed at customers that do not tell me  
they drop a host, and then do not delete my NS records from their  
registrar.  Given how openDNS totally fubars' that case, it is even  
more  important to me that records be kept tidy.

I have only done what my colo asks of me, I did not add the rest, as  
they told me to only add one.

That is exactly what I am doing, I was told to use one, and that is  
all I am using.
