Mario, this is the first I've heard of .null not providing DNS hosting 
for registered domains.  I'm curious why it doesn't?

Just an FYI for the discussion, all other TLDs under opennic do provide 
the option to either use that TLD's nameserver, or use your own 
nameserver, for hosting the records for your domain.  The TLD 
information is shared equally between all of the tier1 servers, so 
including domain records to the TLD record does not add any appreciable 
load to any of the servers.

An example of this would be registering domains from 
http://reg.for.free/ -- by default if you just need a simple domain 
setup with A or AAAA records, ns2.opennic.glue will host the DNS zone 
for you, but you still need to host the actual website on another server.
