You have two options that I would advocate. 1) Have your clients register with your bind server, and have it propagate to a solid DNS distribution layer like dnsmadeeasy. (Which has truly static and well known DNS server addresses, with reasonable uptime history. There are a few players in this space. 2) Have your clients directly register with Amazon's own Route53 DNS service. It takes care of almost everything, if you are willing to use Amazon's API.
We do both, but now that Amazon has their own service, we lean towards #2, but frankly don't have enough time to say that Amazon has a DNS offering that is significantly more or less reliable than other DNS servers. Based on their past record of non-DNS uptime, I would guess that relatively speaking they are a very solid choice. Does this help?
