Correct, it is not relevant, merely cosmetic... I'm not sure why it is not working for you, as I have never had problems doing this for a client, ie., getting their domains to show up in order via a whois. > > However, this makes me wonder how in the world do DNS servers out > there know > where my primary is, it is not like a MX where this is a preference. > I have > always thought my primary is ns1.hostwizard.com, but I can see nothing > anywhere that would let another server know to look there first. > Well DNS and "whois" data are two different things. Your primary DNS server is defined by you in your DNS zone file, not be the whois data, again merely cosmetic.
