They had four servers go down from a DDoS attack.  I had the
same problem, KernelTrap went offline for nearly two days as
I too use ZoneEdit.  However I decided to stay with them, and
upgraded from 2 nameservers to 4 for my primary domain.

I've used ZoneEdit for 5 or 6 years, and I'm still very happy
with them.  Whether you host your DNS with them or someone
else, it is very wise to have at least 3 name servers if
having your domain name always available on the Internet is
critical to your business.
