Actually, it's Verisign that requires it for delegations for any domain in .com or .net. Imagine the following situation. You have a domain, inn0vate.com, and its name servers are set to ns1.inn0vate.com and ns2.inn0vate.com. Now imagine a client computer wishes to lookup information about, say, www.inn0vate.com. How does that client computer get the address of ns1.inn0vate.com or ns2.inn0vate.com? The answer is, from a glue record that gets published in the TLD zone itself. That record is the reason you need to register name servers. -- Current Peeve: The mindset that the Internet is some sort of school for novice sysadmins and that everyone -not- doing stupid dangerous things should act like patient teachers with the ones who are. -- Bill Cole, NANAE _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
