How Did DNSimple Move Names Back and Forth With Azure?

On Hanselminutes, a dashboard can show 41 registered domains beside 47 DNS zones. DNSimple says the extra zones might be a domain registered somewhere else and pointing at DNSimple, or a name that was never registered.

The domain control plane came from a limit DNSimple states outright: everybody using DNSimple all the time is not a reality. Some people mix DNSimple with Route 53, Azure DNS, other providers, or on-premise DNS like Core DNS. DNSimple built a way to connect into the other systems. From within DNSimple, zones at Azure and at DNSimple can be managed side by side in a bi-directional fashion and moved back and forth.
