Interland. Think of it the same way you'd ask to point www.yourdomain.com
to a new IP address, or define a new MX record.
Interland has so far refused to even consider SPF, has refused to tell me
the CIDR range that their few dozen outgoing MX's share (besides their
entire /14) and has also refused to create any TXT records to support SPF.
Wait, you're paying them for DNS hosting, but they refuse to create DNS
records for you? It should be fairly simple: "I want the following TXT
record for mydomain.com: v=spf1 blah blah blah" and they should create it,
whether they "support" SPF or not.
If they don't want to add records for interland.com, that's their business,
but they should be willing to add any DNS record you want for
yourdomain.com if they host it for you.
Incidentally, you only need to know Interland's IP addresses if you use
them to send outgoing mail. If you send mail through abc.net, and use
xyz.com to host your DNS record, you only need to know abc.net's outgoing
mail servers. Then you build an SPF record with that info, and ask xyz.com
to add it as a TXT record for yourdomain.com.
