I'm sure that they don't want residential accounts providing DNS
services to public ip addresses, what you do on your private lan space
is of no consequence or interest to them. On a business account, if you
are wanting to provide DNS to public ip_addresses and you are not clear
if that is permitted, all you need to do is ask them for clarification
whether that is suitable for the account you have. The cable providers
in the US don't put restrictions on business accounts.
