Later customer decides to make several changes that are informed to you, more mx records, more etc... so the DNS record has grown a lot, and happens that this customer does not pay for it's services (he forgets to send the check). OG very ovedient to the company policies "wipes" the dns info for this customer Customer notices that WE the people of the ISP has deleted all the DNS records from our database an calls to PAY. we are certainly happy and hit the RESTORE button, BUT..... ALL THE INFO IS GONE it's restored only the basic info, but not the "CUSTOMIZED" dns record. So my suggestion would be Before doing a HOLD Optigold should "GET A BACKUP COPY" out of QDNS (the running config of qdns for the domain) and this record RESIDES on OG. When we hit RESTORE, the backup copy resident in OG is restored. Well, is an idea, and I really hope we do not wait for "7.0" :-) Nice feature hum?
