Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn't aware of the service before and just implemented this.

For others, here's the gist. This assumes you've already got things setup for your domain in the route53 management console. In the easyDNS web interface:

  1. Menu "Your Info": edit, set the "Beta Access" to "Beta User"
  2. Menu "Preferences": set "Enable Route53 Support" to "Yes"
  3. Manage domain, Domain Overview, "External" tab, click "route 53"
  4. Fill in AWS Zone ID, Access Key ID, and Secret Access Key
     (you can create dedicated access/secret keys for EasyDNS)
  5. Click "Export from DNS" link and confirm
Then go to your registrar and add the additional nameservers to your domain. Once setup, every change you make in easyDNS will propagate to route53.
