Title: OT: Primary Name Server

What you use as your primary nameserver does not have to be what your registrar thinks is your primary nameserver.  Many people use a nameserver not listed at the registrar as their primary.    I'm told that when a resolver contacts a root nameserver it is the luck of the draw as to which one of your registered nameservers it will respond with.  I know that when I try it I get varied results.   What you consider as your primary, and what the registrar considers your primary are two completely different things and don't have to match (just keep your SOA listed properly).   -Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: Travis Rabe To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 8:13 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] OT: Primary Name Server http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=todhunter.com   It�s ns2.todhunter.com   Travis   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sharyn Schmidt Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 6:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] OT: Primary Name Server   Sorry for the OT post..but I have a question concerning DNS and primary nameservers� I have just had a conversation with someone at Network Solutions who has advised me that what I thought was our primary nameserver, the machine I have been editing my zone files on for almost 2 years now, is not. How can I check this? How can I be editing zone files and having them update to the secondarys  if the machine I'm editing the files on is not my primary nameserver? Obviously someone is confused, probably me. The zone is todhunter.com. Thanks! Sharyn
