Good point. If the SOA mname (the first field in the record's data) doesn't contain the name of a server used in an NS record, things can get interesting with regard to updates. I'm not convinced of the notify issue, but that may be because my understanding of the mechanism is imperfect. >>One of these names is not used in the authority records. >> >>- Another server is listed in the authority records > >authority records (the onse that delegate authority), imo, ARE the >delegation records. Do you mean the zone NS records? Yes, that's what I meant, the zone's authority NS records (as opposed to other NS records in the zone, which would be delegation records for subzones). [For the audience: This is yet another example where even the experts use terms differently. I once had a similar issue when talking to Cricket Liu. It's all part of what makes DNS so interesting.] >>but not the delegation records. > >DNS is confusing and mysterious enough for most people that being >tricky or whatever is really not a good idea. That's too often true. When people try to get cute without knowing what they're doing, problems nearly always arise. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy
