Re: is NS record pointing to some other name server needed in case of classless IN-ADDR.ARPA delegations?

2013-04-03 Thread Mark Andrews

If a zone is being made available to the public (which these are)
then steps should be taken to ensure it is resolvable all the time.
This means having multiple servers that are not subject to common
failures.  This is basic DNS.

 Hi,
 
 in case of classless IN-ADDR.ARPA
 delegations(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2317.txt) I have usually seen
 at least one NS record pointing to name server other than the
 end-customer ones. Example from rfc2317.txt where there are two NS
 records and the second one is not the end-customer name server:
 
 
 ;  0-127 /25
 0/25NS  ns.A.domain.
 0/25NS  some.other.name.server.
 ;
 1   CNAME   1.0/25.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa.
 2   CNAME   2.0/25.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa.
 3   CNAME   3.0/25.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa.
 ;
 
 
 Another example from one real name server zone file:
 
 ;
 0   IN  NS  ns.content-providerA.com.
 0   IN  NS  ns2.content-providerA.com.
 0   IN  NS  ns.isp-of-content-providerA.net.
 ;
 1   IN  CNAME   1.0.47.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
 2   IN  CNAME   2.0.47.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
 3   IN  CNAME   3.0.47.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
 ;
 
 Is NS record pointing to some other name server needed in case of
 classless IN-ADDR.ARPA delegations? What happens if one does not
 specify this?
 
 
 regards,
 Martin

It's very common for the parent name server(s) to slave the 2317 zone so 
that it can answer directly. It's also common for the child to slave the 
parent zone so that it can answer internal queries directly. And of 
course as Mark pointed out name servers  1 is basic DNS.
