Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but domainz have not been able to help and suggested this list. We are a ChCh company with our own class C address, and as we were active on the net long before there were registrars or agents we do not have one -- I presume we are in effect our own registrar for the .nz namespace. We now have a .com name and wish to redirect accesses to this domain name back to our .nz address, and to do this we have to register our nameserver(s) with the Internic. The US registrar for our .com address cannot do this for us -- they say our registrar must do this for us -- but we don't have one. Domainz cannot do this either. I didn't choose the US registrar, and the particular registrar that was chosen for me in the US cannot register ccTLD's -- is this the root of the problem ?. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction ? TIA, -- Regards, Gavin Melville, gavin(a)cypher.co.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

It appears you want to use name servers within .nz as the authoritative NS for your .com name. This is doable, but your .com registrar needs to MANUALLY request that those name server glue records be inserted in the VERISIGN .com zone file. You need to speak to the right person there who KNOWS what's what. One way to get around this MAY be to submit HOST templates for those .nz name server hostnames to NSI. They would then be sent by NSI to Verisign, and you could use those NS's for any com/net/org names you wanted. If you can't get this to work the other alternative is to just run DNS for this /.com name elsewhere, either with someone in NZ whos nameservers ARE in the root already, or with com/net/org name servers. But this is dicking around you shouldn't need to do. Any gTLD Registrar SHOULD have the nads to be able to insert ccTLD name servers into the records. Since there is no risk involved in disclosing such, if you can't get things happening, tell us the .com name involved, the .nz name servers you want to use, the Registrar involved, and there's bound to be someone in this list capable of finding the correct two heads and banging them together.

If an organisation as hopelessly clueless as Domainz are pointing out this list as an alternative means of support, it might explain the recent influx of "flying shooze".

There is only one "registrar" for the .nz ccTLD, and that is Domainz. It's possible your organisation was selected as an agent by the totally bogus data-massaging Domainz inflicted on .nz when they migrated to their DRS system. The easy way to verify this is to see if your organisation appears in the list of agents on the Domainz web site.
We now have a .com name and wish to redirect accesses to this domain name back to our .nz address, and to do this we have to register our nameserver(s) with the Internic.
I'm guessing that by "redirect", you mean you would like an A record that points 'www.yourorganisation.com' to the same IP address as 'www.yourorganisation.co.nz', or something like that. That entry needs to go in the zone file for 'yourorganisation.com' (substitute your own domain name as appropriate). If you have name servers that are authoritative for 'yourorganisation.com', then it's easy---add or change the relevant A record and smile happily. If someone else has the authoritative servers for that zone (your US registrar, for example), then ask them to add an A record to the appropriate server(s), and again smile happily. Either of these suggestions will solve your immediate problem. If you're trying to do something more complicated than that, please read on.
The US registrar for our .com address cannot do this for us -- they say our registrar must do this for us -- but we don't have one.
Hmm. The third possibility is that you wish to shift the delegation of 'yourorganisation.com' from wherever it is now to a server you control. Note that you don't HAVE to do this---either of the solutions detailed above will solve your immediate problem. The problem is that your New Zealand-based (note: not .nz-based) name servers probably don't have host records that the US .com zone knows anything about. I'm surprised that your US registrar isn't capable of resolving this for you, but a quick way to fix it would be to submit a host record to NSI for your servers. Alternatively, you could change registrars to someone with a clue---register.com (for example) do this automatically. If you are trying to shift the delegation (for whatever reason) and you need more help, then telling us the zone you're enquiring about would help a great deal. We can work out the rest of the details (registrar, etc.) given the domain name.
Domainz cannot do this either.
Can't do much of anything, in fact. :-)

Nope, that's not related at all. <R>< --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

They also tell people to ring us every day for assistance using *their* website. It pisses me off to the max.
