However, on a query these refer > authority to the a.gtld-servers.net... servers. sure >Does this mean the root servers should be set to these instead? no, ?.gTLD-servers.net are not ?.root-servers.net :)) The TLD's were split off from the root-servers.net about 18 mos ago. 1. ?.root-servers.net are now authoritative only for the root-zone, and parent/delegate the gTLD and ccTLD zones. referrals are to the xTLD servers. 2. gTLD and ccTLD servers parent/delegate, eg, the .com zone. referrals are to your NS's. 3. Your ns1.domain.com is authoritative for your zone and can parent/delegate to sub-domains.
