Am being told by our registrar that DNS, including MX and IP addresses are meaningless unless we are using their name servers.

We are moving hosts and discovered a number of domains were "parked" and some other domains had e-mail forwarding added to the MX records. We did neither.

Now, I know DNS at registrar is meaningless more or less, if you are using an outside CDN.

But is what they are saying make sense?

The new host, MojoHost is saying we must point DNS at registrar to them or use the CDN system to do it. Not all the sites, especially the ones noted above were live or with a CDN.

Any thoughts?
