I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, and received conflicting answers. Some of you are adamant that inorder for people with domains registered at NSI to use OpenSRS nameservers, you need to register your nameserver with NSI as well. Others were just as adamant that this is not necessary.
I thought I'd try NSI support to see if I could close the loop. Here's my message to them, and their reply - for what it's worth. I received an automated reply first, so I thought that this reply would be more personal - and at least attempt to answer my question. I�m not so sure that this wasn't just another level of autoresponder. My question is still unanswered as far as I�m concerned, but you can be the judge. -t --- myOstrich Internet http://www.myostrich.net ---------------- Message to NSI tech support ------------------ I have recently been informed that customers trying to use my nameservers (registered at Tucows), with domains registered at NSI are getting an error because my nameservers are not registered at NSI. Do you know anything about this? Do I have to register my nameservers at NSI in order for your domain customers to use them as their nameservers? ---------------- Reply from NSI tech support ------------------ Please know that we appreciate your business and your interest in updating or registering a host record.

Next, under "Host Information" please insert your Host Handle, name, or IP address (if this is a new registration, you will not have a Host Handle, one will be assigned after registration is complete). Under "Contact Information" if you have a NIC handle, please insert it here. If you are currently not a contact on record or have not been assigned a NIC handle, fill out & complete all fields of requested information. 3) Once the above is completed, click "Proceed to Host Authorization Information". It is at this point you may select an Authorization scheme which will be referenced when requests are made pertaining to this Host. 4) Once completed a form will be sent to your email address; forward that form to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's possible that your e-mail software does not automatically include the original text in your reply.

It will then be necessary to send a fax to 703-326-7000. Please include the following: a) If the parent domain of the host is registered to a company, the request must be on company letterhead. b) If the request is to update a host record in which the parent domain is owned by a person , a photo-copy of a state issued ID or passport. Please be sure to enlarge and lighten your photo-copy so that your transmission will be legible. c) Tracking # of your original email request to our hostmaster---see above d) Signature and Title of Company Officer who can take legal responsibility. e) Phone number and email address.
