Only if everything works perfectly.  Especially "customer asks for
the auth records and then moves their delegation at some unspecified
point in time" is something you can only catch by regularily polling
the delegating servers - which we certainly could do (like "every 
5 seconds") - but today, we poll once a day, and are not in a hurry.

Except for the "saving IP addresses" part I find this not overly
convincing - these things are different, and treating them as such
makes provisioning, monitoring, and sizing way easier.

And yeah, you can save like 2 IP addresses...  (two recursors, all those
addresses anycasted to as many instances as you need for scale anyway).
