It depends on your ISP and whether your netblock is tied to them. If you have PI (provider independent) space you can delegate the DNS servers at the registry to whoever you wish.
If you have PA (provider allocated) space you're left with your ISP and whether they will delegate out your block or not. I've noticed that some DNS providers seem to charge a lot more for reverse DNS than forward DNS. Not sure there's a technical reason for that tbh. ________________________________________ From: Kurt Buff [[email protected]] Sent: 03 September 2011 12:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: When DNS for your ISP goes down...
