When it comes to the authority for your domain, the holder of the DNS keys is 
great God almighty.  Everything in your domain is controlled by that.  That 
person can re-route all your incoming e-mail to timbuktu.example.com and 
point your web site to nakedteens.example.com.  An untrustworthy DNS admin 
can totally remove you from the internet.

So, yes, I think they can be trusted with this little thing too.
