I've just launched a DNS hosting provider ( https://www.ptrdns.net ) and this is one of the problems I'm worried about. With the PowerDNS backend I'm using, once a zone is added PowerDNS will respond to queries for its record regardless of the nameserver the queries are sent to. One can, for example, query the IP address of the nameserver to get a response.

The Route 53 technique of assigning random server names looks a bit like the technique of creating virtual hosts in a nginx server, but it looks like this is a custom AWS implementation and not something that comes out of the box in any DNS server software I know.
