Search Again: Re: Panther, shared internet, and QDNS From: Men & Mice Support Date: Monday, December 29, 2003 Time: 3:15:46 pm Ahh, semantics! Gotta love it. You say "zone NS records", I say "authority NS records" - "authority" as in "claim of authority", not "conferring or delegating authority". The RFC's don't seem to define a precise name for these records, at least as far as I've been able to find in a brief search. I was able to find this in RFC 1034: >Though logically part of the authoritative data, the RRs that >describe the top node of the zone are especially important to the >zone's management. These RRs are of two types: name server RRs that >list, one per RR, all of the servers for the zone, and a single SOA >RR that describes zone management parameters. I find myself unwilling to use the phrase "zone NS records", since this seems liable to cause confusion in newbies who don't understand the distinction between these records and delegation records. Since the RFC groups these records with the SOA (Start of Authority) record, the phrase "authority NS records" seems justifiable. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 2:38 PM -0600 12/29/03, Len Conrad wrote: >>Yes, that's what I meant, the zone's authority NS records > >The word "authority" makes no sense in that phrase. simply "zone NS >records" is sufficient, since they have nothing to do with >(conferring) authority. > >>(as opposed to other NS records in the zone, which would be >>delegation records for subzones). > >Those NS records are specially important and are called delegation >records or delegation data (all DNS records are DNS database "data").
