Do you have any friends running a name server anywhere in the world that
would offer to be secondary? Primary and Secondary are better if
topologically separate on the net. Then if the dsl connection goes down
you may loose the web server, but the net still knows you exist. :)

Not recommended for the reason imputed above. Don't want a single failure
to remove both primary and secondary. Of course NSI is not known for
carefully screening for those sorts of things.
