Actually, changing the hostname isn't all that hard. If both domains are sponsored at the same registrar, you can simply rename the nameserver (at OpenSRS, both domains must be in the same management profile - go into the "create modify" nameserver area, and simply enter the different nameserver hostname).
Instead of the IP updating at the registry level, the new name takes over the glue record. :) Charles Daminato TUCOWS Product Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sun, 11 Nov 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > The registry (Verisign Registry for .com .net and .org) is the > authoritive source for and maintains the IP address.
