What does "master name server" mean?
The (Domainz) database does actually distinguish the first name server listed as the "master" Mostly, this distinction doesn't have any real effect. It does however matter when the "public secondary" option is used, as it is this name server that will be used as the master for the secondary to query. I imagine this is the source of the confusion. I undersetand the SOA query will be done as a normal DNS query, so will go to whichever nameservers the local resolver cares to ask. 8-) -- don --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
