This makes me slightly nervous. Has anybody else seen this kind of thing for other domains?
The ns_ip_* fields were optional in the old system, and were only used where the nameserver was within the zone being specified (ie only used to produce glue records where necessary).
Therefore, the only nameserver in the above list that NEEDS to have the IP number specified (the rest are ignored), is 'tardis.patho.gen.nz'.
Cool. I'm not nervous about that any more :)
It looks like the only ns_ip_* records which were preserved in the shift to the new database were:
+ nameservers operated by known registrars
+ nameservers whose address records are required for purposes of glue
Is that right?
Sorry, but I don't want to speculate, and can only comment on the data that you shown us. Perhaps this is a question to clarify with the developers of the new system when they have a moment.
Thanks for your quick responses, by the way -- they are appreciated,
Phew. I was paranoid of sounding too pretentious, which I hope I'm not. I'm just trying to explain things before comments and critizisms spiral out of control. I'd also like to say, that I'm not the authoritative 'Tech Support' channel for these sorts of questions, and that Domainz should be the first point of contact about such concerns. They may be a little snowed-under at this point in time, so I guess response times aren't initially going to be great, but analysing the system from outside isn't always going to give the correct answer (ask the Waikato Uni helpdesk about our user account management system.....)
