 Hi, sorry for the late reply, I've just came back from holidays. 
 
 I have 3 domains with 123-reg.co.uk, and a few others that I manage,
 basically in the 123 site you specify your DNS servers, i.e. we point
 them to our static ip address(es), where we run the primary dns server. 

 So, we have complete control, I don't know about blueyonder, but with 
 pipex xtreme it works(tm). The package comes with 5 static ips.

 Whatch out, you have to use the "Change nameservers" option not the 
 "Manage DNS".

 Formi.
