It is quicker and easier to transfer your domain to another registrar,
even though you will have to call them up and speak to a person to do
it.

NetSol AAAA glue

If anyone with ability to fix this is reading this - contact me offlist 
and I'll owe you...


I'm trying to change an  host (name server) address.

I've been emailing ipv6...@networksolutions.com back and forth for several 
days.  After fighting through 'authentication' (which btw I *didn't* do 
several years ago to get the  added) they say they have 'completed' 
it.  a.gtld for example still has the old .  I've just got a gut 
feeling that they don't understand what I'm asking.  I'm actually getting 
a bit scared they are going to break my domain.


Aside from someone at netsol seeing this - does anyone have any advice 
other than get off netsol (which I'm considering).


Thanks.

For COM and NET only. Not ORG, not any ccTLDs, as far as I know.

You don't lose the other 9 years. You just don't get an 11th year if the 
new renewal date would then be more than 10 years out. For what it's 
worth, .ca (non-ICANN) works the same way.

Oh, come *on* guys.  How much does a bleeping domain *cost*? Under what
conditions does "zomg I'm gonna lose the other 9 years" actually outweigh the
aggrivation?  Either you're paying $8.95 a year, at which point obsessing about
it for more than an hour costs more than the domain, or you;re paying $100 a
year for some premium support that you're obviously not getting - at which
point it's obvious you've made a bad business decision and you should cut your
losses.

(Yes, I know the *real* problem is getting your business offfice to issue
payment to the new registrar, and then fixing your internal procediures and
documentation  to match what the new regisrar wants.  and the other real
problem is that the registrar race to the bottom means *none* of them
do everything you need/want...)

This isn't true in ICANN-contracted registries.  The maximum period is
10 years, absolutely, so if you have 10 years to go and you pay for a
transfer you lose the additional year's payment.

Not sure why you'd be worried about a 10-year renewal, any registrar
transfer just add on time to existing expiration, you don't lose anything.

OpenSRS does (now) have online IPv6 glue-record editing. 

They can insert DS records by hand if you email into their support
department (assuming you are the reseller and you have access to their
support department, otherwise you have to work through your reseller). 

Still, not as nice as online access, but it is workable.

I waited over a month before I finally got fed up and e-mailed nanog for

Hi Brandon,

Check out Name Cheap.  One has to submit a support ticket for them to
contact enom to add the ipv6 bits but that takes less than 2 days to
have in place.

Yes, Dyn supports DNSSEC and will send the DS to the registrar and so
on.  We'll also host the DNS using DNSSEC for you, but it's not a
requirement to use our service for this.  (I'm delighted to hear that
people say it's good.)

NetSol has been dragged through the mud on NANOG a few times in recent
memory, i believe the best bet is to 1) review the archives 2) find
another register

Joker is a good one for that (IPv6 glue + DNSSEC) too, especially
because of their automated robot that one can easily push key updates to.

As long as you're not 1 year into a 10 year renewal, you may want to consider 
just moving your domains to another registrar such as opensrs.  Drawback of 
using OpenSRS is they don't do DS records for dnssec, if that's a requirement 
as well, I believe Dyn has a good service for this (or so I read in the OpenSRS
