Could you please support the use of other DNS providers for your services? 

As you keep mentioning that Geo unblock feature is a niche feature and provided on best effort basis, it would be nice to have a feature to redirect the entire service to a different smart dns provider. 

Currently, to achieve the same, we need to find the IPs of each of the domains used in the service and write custom rules for each of the domains to redirect the domains to their corresponding IP address. This is a very time consuming process and prone to errors(and issues). Also, if smart dns provider changes those IPs, need to do this exercise all over again.

My request is, provide a feature where we can redirect the entire service to a different DNS provider.

This could probably solve other issues that people are having with Akamai. Most often Akamai sends to the wrong location based on what Akamai believes is the location of the DNS server. In such cases, people can provide 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or any other DNS provider for such domains.

I understand that it is more like a double DNS lookup but this feature is provided indirectly already using redirect to IP feature and would be great to have this feature at service level too.
