Search Again: Authoratative DNS Question From: John Readwin Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2003 Time: 9:55:13 am Here is my question When I query my primary DNS ( marge.netextras.com) with DNS Expert, it=20= says it is not an authoritative answer I am switching to a new ISP and have transitioned my DNS servers to the=20= new IPs as per Len's advice snip-----> setup the old boxes to serve as NSs at the current IPs and cut them=20 into production whenever you want. setup your production boxes to serve as NSs at the new IPs, and put=20 them on-line. shorten all the TTLs in your old boxes to 15 minutes. go to you registrar and change the host registrations for the NS from=20 old IPs to new IPs. these have 2D TTLs that you have no control over.=20= as soon as yr registrar upoads the A records for your NSs with the new=20= IPs, Internet will start querying your productions NSs at the new IPs. 2Days max after the the registrar modifies your IPs (glue), there will=20= be no queries arriving at your old boxes at the old IPs, so you can=20 turn them off. -----------> That was on Friday May 16th =46rom DNS Expert ------------------------------------ Query: marge.netextras.com.
