We have a site hosted at Web.com.
Our DNS registrar is Godaddy.com.

Currently Godaddy has the Web.com DNS servers listed. BUT Web.com can't do a sub.example.com forward to example.com/page.

So I'm considering having ALL the DNS handled at Godaddy (which can handle the above forwarding).

I realize that one downside is that if Web.com changes the IP address that I'll then need to change it manually.

I suspect Web.com would be very unlikely to do that b/c then THEY need to update LOTS of DNS records (for those folks having thair A, CNAME, etc. listed at Web.com)

Any other risks? Is this an odd (or risky) thing to do?

It is neither odd nor risky. It is actually quite common practice.

The only thing about it is that it can create confusion for people who are inexperienced with the way the system works. I have a web hosting business and encourage my customers to have everything under one roof for that very reason.

But if you know what you are doing...
