Why not get someone to secondary the domain well in advance of the 
outage, or set it up on zoneedit.com for free? Having an NS and possibly 
backup MX well away from your own network is always a good idea anyway.

You should be able to add a name server to domain in less than an hour, 
as the com/net servers update far more quickly. You would have to turn 
down the TTL on the domain so old results are not cached upstream for 
long, but it's a reasonably practical solution.
