more than 4 nameservers for a domain
The Domainz web interface only lets you specify four authoritative nameservers for a domain; the e-mail interface lets you specify six. The e-mail interface is only available to agentstrars. POB has confirmed that this is the intended design, and is not a bug. Can anybody confirm what happens if a domain has six nameservers loaded by an agentstrar using the e-mail template, and is subsequently edited by the nameholder using the web interface? Are all six nameservers preserved? Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

One imagines you can change the first 4 but not the last 2 :-) We were about to deploy some additional name servers to make our DNS service more robust, but as we have elected not to be an agent for domainz our customers are restricted to 4 name servers. Domainz providing one grade of service to a select few and a lower grade to all others is unfair when they have a monopoly on registration services in .nz 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

Does one really need more than four? (non techo asking as am interested). I do recall looking at the new system at DOMAINZ and they mentioned they were going to allow up to six name servers as 2day has asked for more than four. Someone asked how many 2Day wanted and my reply (in humour) was "n+1" :-) DPF ________________________________________________________________________ <david at farrar dot com> NZ Usenet FAQs - http://www.dpf.ac.nz/usenet/nz ICQ 29964527 --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

We need 4 for most zones, 6 for a few, and n + 1 if POB asks the question 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

You don't need more than one as long as it never goes down, and is connected to the internet using providers that never go down. Keep applying cynical pessimism to that statement until you reach six :) --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Keep applying cynical pessimism to that statement until you reach six :) Consider also, for TLDs (and popular domains which have many subdomains) where many many requests are made, you want many many name-servers as many (most?) caching name-servers will work out which name-servers respond the quickest and bias requests towards them. --cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
