So, they’re not the least bit embarrassed by their abject inability to provide
reliable authoritative nameservice, eh?
In my experience, partners who have egg on their faces because they’ve recently
caused major outages, tend to be more willing than usual to co-operate on ways
to prevent further outages, and replicating zone data *is* the classic way to
enhance its availability.
(And hopefully you understand that slaving the zone doesn’t require your
nameservers to be published for them, although if you’re a “stealth slave” you
might want to make special arrangements for NOTIFY, as I touched on in my
previous message).

Slave the zone? Oh, run secondary. Fat chance.

Would they be receptive to letting you slave the zone? At least then you’d have
the whole EXPIRE time before the names stopped resolving.
If they’re concerned about security, then the transfers could be locked down by
source IP address, or, if their software supports it, TSIG key.
One of the downsides of slaving, of course, is that changes might take a while
to replicate, unless NOTIFY is set up.

I'd just put something in /etc/hosts and send myself an email every
month or so to remind me I'd done that.
This is what we're currently using, but it has the downside of not picking up
ip address changes.
