Domainz system
by Peter Mott 11 May '00

11 May '00

Does anybody know if new system tests for a domain being authoratative on the specified name servers prior to registration? The UoW system used to check the first two name servers only. I am getting problem reports suggesting the new system may be checking all specified name servers (one of our 4 name servers only reloads once every 24 hours whereas the others reload every 30 mins if changes have been made) p.s. I received an e-mail from Rex Croft yesterday. He is working in Adelaide CBD being a "fixit" person for solaris systems. He seems rather happy with the move to AU.

What I mean by that, is that each registrar should be able to set this on or off for their own registrations. Currently for us the DRS does *not* appear to be checking our name servers for 'authoritativeness' before accepting a new registration. There is a rumor that DRS will check for authority after a day - but I don't know what happens if it fails :( BTW: I cannot find anywhere in the new system that allows a registrar to change this option. This means that either only Domainz can change this value or that I have been mislead!

We are currently experiencing some technical issues with the Domainz Registration System, as a result of which the system has been taken off-line while these issues are resolved. Despite the above, the zone build is happening and the process is due to start shortly. We are making every effort to get the system back up as quickly as possible, and will keep you posted as to progress. Our sincere apologies for this disruption.

Okay, so my box, wibble, is master for 19 .nz domains (including one *legitimate* school, neat eh?) and slave for 9. Obviously, I would like to be able to make the same sort of changes I could before, with the domain key. Specifically my Technical Contact details and the like. All the domains I host are "Unallocated", and I am not about to go and convert all the keys of the domains I don't actually own, so how do I get in? You will have to excuse me, I know little about the new system, as I don't really do a whole lot of domain stuff these days... Is there anywhere that explains exactly what the changes are, how they affect me, and what I can do? I have looked around the site, but well, it's doesn't seem to explain well what the new system does/is.

However Registrars will have their own Registrar Login & Password which will allow them to do much of what the name holder can do, if not all. I am not a Registrat so am not sure what limitations there are. Certainly it makes sense that for example Xtra can change the Name Server IP Address for all the domains who are hosted on Xtra but as some have pointed out being their "host" doesn't mean you are their Registrar.

Domainz information corruption.
by Simon Lyall 10 May '00

I just had a look at my domain of darkmere.gen.nz on the new domainz site of www.domainz.glazier.co.nz. The problem seems to be that the Holder Phone number seems to have been truncated in the change. On the old site at: http://domainz.waikato.ac.nz/cgi-bin/DNZ-REGISTER?domain_name=darkmere.gen.… It is: Holder Phone: +64 9 358 5067 ex 9701 but on the new site ( http://www.domainz.glazier.co.nz/ , then "Domain Name Management" , then "Domain Name Search" ) It is: Phone: 64 9 358 5067 ext 97 Note, the "+64" has been changed to just 64 and the extention on 9701 has been changed to 97. I guess somebody didn't think when they programed in that field. Overseas phone numbers just look funny, check out dianetics.co.nz -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz System/Network Admin. | | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz Ihug Limited, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

I've been having great problems with the site. I got the same security wrror (using IE5). Using a new password (we haven't received these automatically yet - can anyoen advise when we will) which I generated from their converter I tried to log in and it failed several times. Finally let me in but when I tried to change my registrar it came up no such webpage. Then started getting message saying the site is temporarily offline. Now the main site itself is giving me a no such page error. Can someone advise if the site is up and staying up? ta DPF --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
