Now, I know DNS at registrar is meaningless more or less, if you are using an outside CDN.

But is what they are saying make sense?

The new host, MojoHost is saying we must point DNS at registrar to them or use the CDN system to do it. Not all the sites, especially the ones noted above were live or with a CDN.

Any thoughts?
Sounds like your Registrar are telling porkies in the hopes of flogging you a "Premium DNS product" of some sort. If your Webhost offers CDN/DNS Services, as someone else said here, all you need to do on your DNS Registrar is to go into the Control Panel and set the Mojohost Nameservers under your domains.

Your Registrar will then push this to the "Root DNS Servers", and you're effectively no longer using your Registrar for any DNS Services.
