RE: Domainz system (authoritative checking)

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.

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 :(
BTW: I cannot find anywhere in the new system that allows a registrar to change this option. This means that either only Domainz can change this value or that I have been mislead!
I queried Domainz about them allowing us to register domains prior to being authoritative and was told that this feature is part of the Registrar agreement and is a privilege that may be given to some Registrars. This functionality has been provisioned for in the changes Domainz have made but will not be activated on Day 1. Are you sure they're not checking first Ben or have you managed to specifically arrange for this service to be activated? I'm under the impression that Domainz are the only ones who can modify the feature. -- Ted Grenfell Xtra ISP Performance Manager Mob 025 435 455; DDI 09 359 5854; Fax 09 355 5283 Level 12, Telecom Tower, 16 Kingston St, Private Bag 92028, Auckland --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
Our staff members too need to have the nameserver preconfigured before registering domain names with the new Advantage[1] system. It is also my understanding (from what POB said at the registrar meeting) that to change this would require a change in ISOCNZ policy before this could be setup. ISOCNZ set up the policy that Domainz work with and one of those is that a domain name must have two preconfigured nameservers prior to registeration. -- simon.

Regardless of ISOCNZ policy or anything else, the UoW system was only checking the first two name servers and ignoring the status of any additional ones. The new system is not the same, and there was no notification that this change would occur. We are quickly building a new ns3 name server to airfreight to our co-location provider in the USA to get around this problem. We have sent DOMAINZ emails but they continue to ignore us.

To Domainz: Where was the notification of the change in the number of
nameservers you were going to check. This not only has caught 2day off
guard, but also caught off the isp that I work with[1] as well. If you are
going to make changes like this, you need to tell us IN ADVANCE. I assume
that is why you set up the drs(a)domainz readonly mailing list.
Having said that, I know Domainz aren't going to reply, so sorrt for
wasting your bandwidth.
Peter: As a temporary solution, you can always point ns3.2day to
ns1.2day.net, as Domainz does not check to see that the servers have a
unique IP, only a unique name. This is of course is less than optimal, and
I would like to see Domainz check only the two nameservers as they used
to.
