Search Again: Registrars and the WHOIS From: Scott Haneda Date: Friday, October 10, 2003 Time: 10:49:28 pm I don't know where else to ask this, seems well enough related to DNS stuff, so here goes. Why do some registrars ask you for a Ip when registering a domains NS's, most seem to not, but a few do, I never understood this. If I am going to move my Primary NS to a new IP, I plan on keeping 2 DNS servers up for a period of time, I will have my old primary and my new primary, go into my registrar control panel and update the IP of the NS, is this pretty much the best way to deal with this? I should not have to have customers make any changes to any registered domain names? Strange thing is the I can not seem to see where I can update the IP of the NS with my registrar, would this just happen automatically? When I register a domain name, I am asked to enter in my 3 NS's, I enter them in order, yet when I look at the whois, they are out of order, almost always...
