If the registrar goes down you are screwed, Period. Uh, no. The nameserver entries for each domain are inserted into the root nameservers on a regular basis (2x a day or so). Your registrar being down has no effect on any domains you registered through them unless you make use of their systems for DNS. Domains NS records in the root zone (ie, ns1/ns2.foobar.com) have A records associated with them in the gtld-servers zones. (ie, ns1/ns2.foobar.com will _always_ resolve as long as the gtld-servers are available, regardless of if your dns servers are down, or your registrar is down. > I do have our own dns server running bind.
