NZRS are testing the ability of your DNS to work with names in māori.nz (i.e. spelt correctly with the macron on the a) -- please read the message below & visit http://www.te-reo.maori.dns.net.nz to enable them to test.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sebastian Castro <sebast...@nzrs.net.nz> Date: Mon, May 24, 2010 at 5:49 PM Subject: [nznog] NZRS asks for help testing a DNS feature To: nznog <nz...@list.waikato.ac.nz> Greetings NZNOG Community: Within the context of the IDN Project, that adds five new characters (the macronised vowels) to the set of characters valid for .nz domain name registration, a new SLD will be created: māori.nz All existing and future names registered under .maori.nz will be duplicated in the DNS to be available under .māori.nz as well. We will use a DNS record called a DNAME to implement this functionality. Although the DNAME record has been standard for more than 10 years, we want to make sure domains under māori.nz will work properly. To do so, we have prepared a test page that will let us find out the level of DNAME support among cache resolvers. Please visit http://www.te-reo.maori.dns.net.nz to help us with the testing process. We will collect visits to the page and DNS queries for particular names and correlate them to identify the number of resolvers supporting the DNAME record. Feel free to share this link with anybody, including other suitable mailing lists. If you find any issue, have comments or suggestions, please let us know.
