Please, we're still dealing with the DNS thread.  One at a time.

ANY routing between providers generally uses BGP.  There are a
very few exceptions, so I'll not say always.  Hot potato is the
easy, default method.

You probably could have found something via Google in less time
than it took me to type this... read a BGP tutorial such as Avi's
first.
