Hi Friends,
Thanks to all those who responded to my original post. It took me a
little while to go over all the information. I still have a few related
questions:
Brief Problem Desc: Registering domain with INTERNIC and providing
primary and secondary DNS servers. My ISP is Mediaone. Mediaone DOES
NOT let me use their Pri and Sec DNS
Questions:
1. MediaOne gives out DHCP addresses. I've been with mediaone for a
year and I always get the same IP. Is it OK to setup my Pri DNS on a
system with DHCP IP?
2. As far a the secondary goes, someone suggested me that I setup a
bogus secondary. What does that mean? Which IP should I use? BTW, I'm
also in the process of subscribing to DNS-SWAP mailing for sharing DNS
servers. But I would like to know how you can give a bogus secondary.
3. It it "legal" to use your ISP supplied DHCP IP as your primary DNS
while registering the domain with Internic?
4. What is the worse case for a misconfigured Pri or Sec. DNS for for
domain?
5. Do I need DNS up and running on the Pri and Sec servers when I
register my domain? In other words, can I just register first and then
work on the DNS configuration provide I have the pri and sec. IPs?
Thanks again. Special thanks to Michael Packer, Dale Botkin, Clayton
Weaver, Justin Laporte and Fred Orispaa for their prompt responses.
