All the reasons why lame delegations are no good, and a few more besides. The registrant thinks by paying the registry bill, service will be reinstated. If delegation required us to participate in the transaction, the registrant would have learned they had to pay our bill as well.
Sure, this is reasonable -- obviously it doesn't fit the current Domainz issues.
RFC's and the notion of a good stable DNS.
As most people know, I'm pretty idealistic most of the time, but the current status for .nz domains is not all that different that what has occurred elsewhere in the past. Thats not a justification of course, just an observation.
The registry can leave the name in the register, but I beleive they have a responsibility not to delegate names to name servers that are known not to be configured to provide name service at delegation time.
Sure, this seems reasonable provided there is some reliable automated mechanism to communicate this information back back to Domainz. -cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
