Actually, neither. I don't want the DNS at all. _I_ want to run the DNS. I just want to get my domains registered. So if my ip range is is 209.66.77.64-71 for example, and I have name servers at .66 and .67, then I want one of THEM queried when someone tries to lookup www.<mydomain>.name. When they try to send email messages to me@<mydomain>.name it asks my name servers who the MX servers are. The only name work I want the registrar doing is registering my name servers with the gtld servers. I will do all the hosting, whether it's DNS, email, web, or anything else. That was kind of my point. I can think of a few really inexpensive places to register as long as I am hosting the site on their servers. But that's exactly what I DON'T want. I want them to ONLY do the one thing I can't, which is change the config on the gtld servers so that they know that <mydomain>.name is serviced by (in the above example) 209.66.77.66 and 209.66.77.67. Once gtld gets queried, it should point to my name servers. They will, in turn, point to my own servers for all other tasks. I'll take 3rd party DNS if it's the only way possible, but if at all possible, I want to to the DNS myself. The registrar should register my domain and that's it. --- Dan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
