[GTALUG] Need help with DNS Nameservers

I have a domain for my family email (and other things) mason-rose.ca

The DNS is on a machine that is currently unstable (meaning I can't
physically access it for 2 weeks, I can't ssh in, and it can't be blown
away).  Foolishly, both of the required DNS namesevers point to the same
machine.  Postfix on that machine was forwarding all our family email to
various gmail accounts, and this is currently not working... mail is being
dropped on the floor... partner is *NOT*HAPPY* (nor am I, but...).

The Postfix was essentially forwarding dmason at mason-rose.ca to my gmail,
my-partner at mason-rose.ca to her gmail, and everything-else at mason-rose.ca to
both of us.  This wasn't working perfectly, as email from gmail routed
through this would take a very long time, or fail (because gmail didn't
trust it coming sort-of from gmail and back to gmail).

I was trying to set up mailgun.com to forward my email, which requires DNS
records to be set up while continuing to use the postfix setup.  So I would
like to set up alternate nameservers, to get my mail flowing again. But
with the postfix server dead, I don't know if mailgun will do all I want.

So, first and foremost, I need DNS Servers that can host the DNS records.

Any insight/help appreciated.

Thanks  ../Dave
