That is not correct, and in general, no one will police you into doing things
right. Also, no one can police you into learning anything. I thought that you,
just like I and others, are on this list to both learn and help.
There are quite a number of ISPs (big ones) in Israel who have split their
authoritative DNS service, and do not provide recursive services to the world.
The fact Netvision are not doing it right doesn't mean a thing.
You can also test your domain at www.dnsreport.com and see what you
are doing right and what you are not doing right.
By the way, alot of things done the wrong way "work". That doesn't make
them right.
Of course I want to learn, but I don't understand what's wrong with
the current configuration. And also, many technical people forget
that hardware costs money. 2 servers would cost me double; 3 servers
would cost me 3 times etc. I'm not Google, I don't have millions of
servers. If I can save money by putting everything on one single
server, and if it works - then what's wrong with it? I don't see any
problem with solving domain names recursively while being open to
queries from the entire world.
Of course, if my service was abused and things were not working,
that's a different issue. But since it works, I don't see any reason
to change the current configuration. I don't agree with your opinion
that my current configuration is wrong.
If I wanted I could change the current configuration and use
Netvision's name servers to resolve domain names, and my own name
server only as an authoritative name server. It wouldn't cost me more
money. But would my server perform better? I'm not sure. Doron
Shikmoni told me not to use Netvision's servers, and I guess he is
right.
