My question is i guess - is this normal, what is normal, is this a general practice with ISP's as if it is maybe I could implement that process here.
Most ISP's and Hosting companies try to keep everything under the same roof. Otherwise it becomes a managing nightmare.
Not just a management nightmare.. 99% of Internet users don't understand how DNS domain names work.. explaining to you customers that when they change to another DNS/mail/web hosting provider they are not changing how they access the Internet is a non-trivial task. Especially if something convinently breaks at the same time for an unrelated reason. Nathan Ward Disclaimer: 99% is pulled solely from my arse. It is an incorrect statistic.
