What it boils down to is this, we have Network Solutions as our primary  
DNS servers so we don't use our ISPs for handling our DNS records. I want  
to bring our primary in house but my boss is terrified that if out T1 goes  
down we are screwed.  Well, yeah if it goes down our site's not up so why  
would our DNS be so important.  We need to be able to reverse DNS for the  
email we send to be sent properly.

Make sense?
