Ping is probably going after the other DNS server... which we're going to fix now :-) > Eric said, "If I query hearsay.earthlink.net, it's never heard of > kungfugamers.com.

Not all registrars will allow this, but I know of other domains (dubium.com is an example) that are registered with GoDaddy and they have done it this way. The original thinking was that DNS should be ultra-reliable so the registry required two unique servers and IPs. For your purposes, if you cable is down then your entire domain is down, so redundant external DNS is not terribly relevant. -Eric -- arctic bears - email and name services 25 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] CA$11.95/month DNS starting at CA$3.49/month - domains from CA$25.95/year for details contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://www.arcticbears.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
