serving DNS: the chicken and the egg
i've decided to stop using zoneedit.com for DNS services since i can't get the DNS A record TTL set properly for one of my domains using their services. however, i am confused about how to make this work. the registrar that i keep my domains with allows me to list the nameservers for the domain, but it does not allow me to list IPs for the nameservers. if i'm serving DNS from the same domain/IP that i want to list DNS records for, how do i get the registrar to point to my DNS server? i'm to understand this has to do with glue records, but i'm still working on how to do this. the domain in question is a .US domain. any advice is appreciated. cheers, jake

You first need to register your server as a DNS with your registrar before you can set it as an authoritative server. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jacob Yocom-Piatt Sent: Saturday, July 29, 2006 10:34 AM To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: serving DNS: the chicken and the egg i've decided to stop using zoneedit.com for DNS services since i can't get the DNS A record TTL set properly for one of my domains using their services. however, i am confused about how to make this work. the registrar that i keep my domains with allows me to list the nameservers for the domain, but it does not allow me to list IPs for the nameservers. if i'm serving DNS from the same domain/IP that i want to list DNS records for, how do i get the registrar to point to my DNS server? i'm to understand this has to do with glue records, but i'm still working on how to do this. the domain in question is a .US domain. any advice is appreciated. cheers, jake
