We're doing that with another university in our state system that's about 200 miles away. To answer the additional question about DNS, we have a secondary at yet a different university in a different state. At the minimum, you'd want a secondary at your host site if nowhere else. In the event of an emergency where none of your services were available, you'd need to have someone edit the secondary manually to change the IP address for you primary web server.
The part people who do this *always* manage to forget is to publish the DNS entries with a low enough TTL to matter - if www.yourschool.edu has a 5-day TTL on it, it's likely going to be several days before some places notice.
