Back in 1995 when I took over the management of CO.ZA from Mike Lawrie,
his strong suggestion was to only add properly functioning delegations
to the Zone File - so that is what we did. Why add delegations that are
broken to the working parent?
As a Registrar - if I am not providing the DNS for a Domain - then I
have checks on my side to see if the Nameservers are working before
sending them on to the Parent registry.
I also have a "Reservation" or Free service so that people can register
a domain (using my Nameservers) but the domain is "read-only" on my side
(no one can change any of the zone file contents). Point being - the
delegation works if sent to a parent.
This all works fine.
In addition - I also manage the EDU.ZA and ALT.ZA zone files. These are
both small zones and use the Registry/Registrant model (2 x R). Apart
from running CDS checks, I also run weekly (Monday early morning)
Nameserver checks so will see when things break and then email the
domain owner of the event. Consequently - the two parent zones are
pretty clean.
