Tim, I am quite sure (as per 4.3.1.1 of http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2832.txt - RRP registry protocol) that you cannot within one command, register domain with nameservers based on it's own name. Registry requires registration of nameserver as a separate command, on a basis of already existing domain.
Workaround is to: 1. register new domain with (some existing) nameservers, 2. add nameservers based on new domain name 3. change nameservers of new domain to newly created nameservers Thanks, ------------------------------------ Zeljko Dimic Technical Product Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucows Inc. 96 Mowat Avenue Toronto, ON, M6K 3M1 Canada tel: 416.535.0123 x 1256 fax: 416.531.5584 ------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tim Woodcock Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 2:19 PM To: Development List Subject: registering a.com with ns.a.com as a nameserver Hi folks. I tried to ask opensrs tech support this question around a month ago. (#6932-000353-6214\3536214) if anyone from opensrs is interested. How do I register a domain name with nameservers inside that domain name? When we originally set up our registration application, we were allowed to send name server name, and nameserver ip address. That is no longer possible. > If I want to register say, yadayada.com, with name servers ns1.yadayada.com > and ns2.yadayada.com, how do I do it? > > I have ip addresses 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 respectively. > > I cannot call sw_register with these name servers, because: > Request failed validation: > Name server 'ns1.yadaydad.com' is not found at the registry. > Please double check the nameserver and re-submit. > Name server 'ns2.yadayada.com' is not found at the registry. > Please double check the nameserver and re-submit. > > I cannot call create_nameserver, because I need a cookie, which means I > need a domain, which I'm trying to register, but I can't register it > because I can't set the name servers. > > I cannot call sw_register with no name servers, because the minimum count > is 2 (completely bogus, because I can go in and remove both using the > management interface). > > I suppose I could register the domain with other name servers, create the > name servers I want, the delete the ones I registered them with, but there > is "something" fundamentally wrong with having to jump these hoops. > > a) why do I need name servers at all? > I could solve this problem if I could register without name servers. > b) why can't I specify ip addresses at registration time? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Woodcock [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Development; BareMetal.com, Inc. http://baremetal.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
