I'd be happy to contribute some DNS capability, if needed or wanted
(from the volunteer list, it looks like the HTTP side is well taken care of).

ditto
i have 3 Apache servers capable of running named vhosts {2 sites}
already rsyncing all sites between them when updated by ftp
{easily alterable so you rsync changes to one it'll propagate them
to the others}
and all running bind if needing slaves of the zone that respond to
notify for fast updates
also have a testing setup of poor mans ha
{ie lookup www.example.com get directed by cname to testing.ha.my-domain
ha.mydomain is delagated to the nameservers on http-hosts each
http-host only responds with its own ip for A lookups against
testing.ha.my-domain and with a short ttl}
real domains not given as it would muck up my testing stats, when
ready to public beta my own www.alandoherty.net will be one of the
first sites using it {as its low volume}
on each http-host the stop script also takes down the named, so
within half an hour of a software or hardware failure all http
traffic goes to the others only, at least till the named is back
up}, in the case of a scheduled outage it will give the ip of its
nearest partner for 30 mins before the outage and all delegation of
the zone to that server will be removed from the parent and peer
zones many hours before}
but as i say its still in test, but soon, but its a great option for
say www.openspf.org if it could be mirrored only on servers also
running a named
they could create a sub-zone such as http-ha.openspf.org delegate
that to all the mirrors also provide each mirror a personalised zone
file {giving themselves as the A} for each peer that each peer could
poll for changes and reload as necessary
and thus when all working/tested/happy just cname www.openspf.org to
http-ha.openspf.org
and as the master server controls the delagation they can easily
drop a non-responsive or rouge peer, or one that has asked to be
temp-dropped for maintenance
also as its a cname no users see or need to know about the sub-zone
and www.openspf.org can easily be made back into an A if for some
reason it all fails
