Re: [TriLUG] DNS makes my headhurt..

[Jeff Groves]

If it's anything like tucows based registration, he needs the IP address 
of the machine running named that is the master for his domain (AKA ns1) .
Who provides your DNS service?  Have you ever considered running your 
own named?

Any other suggestions?

Ok, remember how I was setting up some named virtual hosts for a
     

nonprofit?
 

Now I'm working with the fellow that holds the registration of the
     

domain
 

name.  I told him to alias his domain to strutmasters.net; that way, as
     

long
 

as we keep our domain name registration up-to-date, his is automatically
up-to-date as well.  He replied and said:
"All I need is the name servers, NS1 and NS2 are they both
     

strutmasters.net
 

this is the only way that it can be done at register" [sic]
Which one of us is confused?  I have very little domain registration
experience, but the times I've ever registered any domain, it's been
     

tell
 

the people the name and the IP and they take care of it; I've never been
asked about name servers.  I thought name servers were the realm of the
     

dns
 

provider?
So if I'm the confused one here, what's the right answer to his
     

question?
 

"Yes"?
If he's the confused one, what do I tell him to clear things up?
Thanks y'all,
