Noting that many domain names held with Xtra are there for legacy reasons (eg, back-in-the-day that's who they used, and noone's bothered moving to a cheaper/better registrar), I don't hold out much hope that many customers have alien/terminator specified without also specifying IP addresses.
Unless it's a glue record the IP address is ignored by the nz registry, so it doesn't matter if an out of date IP address is specified, the NS names will be used. (Apart from adding to the confusion of course) That makes migrating migrating NS servers to different IP addresses relatively easy, as you don't have to update all of the domains using those NS servers in the nz registry. -- Jean-Francois Pirus | Technical Manager francois(a)clearfield.com | Mob +64 21 640 779 | DDI +64 9 282 3401 Clearfield Software Ltd | Ph +64 9 358 2081 | www.clearfield.com
