Search Again: Re: Reverse DNS & Root NS Servers From: Men & Mice Support Date: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 Time: 10:15:33 am Some registrars may still not allow this sort of thing - it used to be verboten to have two registered names for the same DNS server. Aside from that, this shouldn't cause any problems. DNS servers don't care what their PTR records say, so you don't need to worry about reverse DNS issues. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 9:42 PM -0800 10/28/03, Jesse Proudman wrote: >I'm trying to setup a set of nameservers using the same IPs as an >existing name server.
