Our stuff cannot just be up and moved to different IPs and all.

Double ouch.
Having someone switch your IPs when you run your own nameservers is *not* fun. After you find out what the new IPs are there's a minimum of 24hrs downtime as the faster ISPs pick up the DNS change, but that can go 72hrs or more depending on how long it takes to propogate through the different ISPs all over the world.
And if you hard link using IPs rather than FQDNs - triple ouch. All that shit has to be changed too. Especially bad for mailers directing to IP addies.
