Got it! Really great answer. Can I believe that a colo is just a
duplicate machine
somewhere else physically that has a replicated database of the local
authoritative
DNS? I'll imagine that these two machines spend their time keeping each

The Domain Name System (DNS) distributes the

Can we make it any more complicated? Even though I do admire you that

this stuff. One day, maybe.

No, a colo is an abbreviated term for co-location which is a
datacenter that many companies and individuals rent space, power, and
sometimes bandwidth from.
I rent 1U's worth of space, 15a worth of power, and 10mb worth of
internet bandwidth from a company in Manhattan to host my server.

Simple- make sure you have root access to the
authoritative DNS servers and your
zone files will never be wrong unless you make a
fubar!
dnsstuff.com's dnsreport seems to give great info.

j maccraw,
Does this mean that Thane is running his own DNS
server (local)? I would think that I would not have this
level of access to a DNS server (OpenDNS or Bellsouth).

If you own a domain, you can either host DNS yourself or have a provider
do it. Most web hosts will host your DNS for you, although generally you
have little or no ability to make/change your own DNS entries.
I own my own domain, and manage all of the domains my company owns. I

What he said! ;)
Ideally you want to be in control of the authoritative
DNS servers for your
domains not going through a 3rd party. Just one less
