Does anybody know if new system tests for a domain being authoratative on the specified name servers prior to registration? This is supposed to be an option in the new system. 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 :(

Because we are not a registrar, our customers are doing the transactions themselves. Looks like the auth check relates to registrar status rather than trusted name servers. We will have to remove our california name server (ns3.2day.com) from .nz use as its not authorative until much later in the day. I cant see us asking customers to revisit the domainz site to add ns3 after it kicks in, they are almost in tears being sent there once already. I guess we will have to offer a reduced grade of service for .nz domains :-( Regards Peter Mott Chief Enthusiast 2day.com -/- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
