It's pretty much the way it is, so discussing choices for registrar, so that one can provide their own complete delegations of authority under a domain name, is worth paying for. I do not think discussing this on a list such as this is a bad idea. After all my primary name server will be a stripped down gentoo server, running iptables, either hardened or selinux with either Bind or DJBDNS. The fact that a few dollars has to change hands does not make the topic, evil, or undesirable, does it? > However if we talk about a free service provider I > hope it won't be a problem, so I would propose you to try the DNS > service provided by http://www.everydns.net/ .

This is an interesting option, but, one where I do not control 100% of the DNS config files, is not going to work for my needs. Still, what you metion is of curiosity. > If you also need reverse resolving then you have to ask your ISP to put > your domain name in their DNS. That's not likely to be an option with most of the ISPs I've ever used. They what to controls the dns config files and point to an ip address with services as they see fit. Disfunctional, at best. > I have no connection nor relation with "EveryDNS.net" other than I'm > using their free DNS service and I'm pleased with it. Your connection, or lack thereof to the entity is of minute concern to me. I'd be very happy if a network admin at a registrar was on this list can could articulate why their dns services are robust, particularly using gentoo based machines. thanks for the link, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
