absense of 'aa' flag doesn't mean much to me i'm afraid.
My DNS knowledge is knowing how to add entries to my named.boot file and
create new zone files for new domains. I don't profess to understand all
the intricacies.
terrance.jmsweb.com is my secondary nameserver
I have been told that both primary and secondary should be listed in each
zone file.
ns.londonweb.net is my old secondary name server.
It is probably still listed in the nominet records, but I have removed it
from my zone file.
Not that the secondary has any use unless my primary goes down does it.
I don't really get quite why the nominet/internic database has to have the
nameservers listed and so does my zone files.
I have done a registry check on my server, that domain is no longer in
there. No entries in my hosts file either, I have never changed my hosts
file, I only use this on development servers to setup local hosts.
