Re: DNS / Hosting Question

[Marwan Saidi]

Well, except that we _don't_ own it. Our partner registered the name (I work for a startup with 2 major partners) and so they own it right now. Rather than transfer ownership of the domain (something that I want do to in the long-term) we just wanted to change the DNS pointers for now. He seems to think that simply switching the A record to the proper IP addy will happen instantaneously, while the propagation for an NS change will take from 3 days to a week. Since the site is currently live both on his servers and mine, I don't see a problem with the propagation, but this is (cue patriotic music) the IT/DNS guy for a Fortune 500 company with 20,000 employees in 82 locations worldwide blah blah blah blah... so he thinks he is king sh!t. That's why I wanted to know if there were technical reasons why this is not a good idea.
