I have inherited a host that has a multitude of domains, which does not have DNS redundancy. I signed up to no-ip.com's DNS backup solution to improve this however I have encountered a problem.
One of the domains has various subdomains running under separate cpanel accounts, rather than being created under the primary domain cpanel account. The issue with this configuration is that I would have to register each subdomain at no-ip.com to have zones records backed up - which turns into a costly exercise.
As far as I can see these are my options:
Does anyone else have any suggestions? Im leaning towards a cheap vps to run it.

As far as I can see these are my options:
- Manually add each subdomain into the primary website zone (and remembering to update both subdomain and domain zones whenever there is a change). Messy and can lead to conflicting ns records.
- Remove each subdomain account, and recreate under the primarys cpanel. Should be doable, but will need planning and a fair bit of time.
- Run up a cheap vps (ala digitalocean) and host the secondary dns myself
