There are two Joker systems, one based on CORENIC, and one, um, not. If you want to delegate an 'old Joker' name to a new nameserver, you need to know its 'COHO handle'. If you don't know it, just create another... If it's a new-ish name, then I believe that they use the Network Solutions nameserver list, so you'd need to add your new nameserver there. Chris.

You need to register the hostname and IP of all nameservers explicitly with the registry. I don't know how Joker deal with this, I only use NSI.

I should have noticed that before.. Cheers, Alex.

Now, to be honest, I can see why they're doing it but the lack of "I don't care - it's an emergency" option and/or the ability to get in contact with them has kind of soured 3 years of good experiences.

Are you sure you don't have some local/split DNS that is messing up your results? I can send you some dig/host output from here if you like, it's probably worth digging against a specific DNS server though. Also, the SOA for astray.com doesn't list ns0.astray.com as a primary or secondary from where I'm looking, and there is no NS record for ns0 in astray.com either - just ns[1-5]. Cheers, Alex.
