--On Wednesday, November 07, 2001 11:56 AM -0800 Randy Bush <randy () psg com>DNS hosts are handled by the registrar for the domain.and then there is the excitement of having a host which serves domains registered with many registrarsIt's the domain of the host, not the hosted domains. If your host is to be ns1.foobar.com, you register it via the registrar for foobar.com.
I think what Randy meant was the fun of THIS sort of thing happening: 1) Hosting company registers ns1.big-hosting.com with NetSol. 2) Joe's Bar registers itself with CheapRegister, hosted by (1), so of course their NS is ns1.big-hosting.com even though they are joes-bar.com 3) Fred's Bowling Alley registers itself with AnotherRegistrar, who is more picky about the NS records - so they say "ns1.freds-bowling.com" but give the A record for ns1.big-hosting.com because that's who's actually doing it. 4) Now just *try* and change any of this without leaving bits and pieces of shredded and mangled DNS clue records from here to Zaire. /Valdis
