Currently the registrant's DNS provider tells them "cut and paste this blob from here into the field marked 'nameservers' in your registrar's interface" and to that they will add "cut and paste this blob from here into the field marked 'DS record' in your registrar's interface. No danger of the registrant needing to understand what they are doing. regards Jay -- Jay Daley Chief Executive .nz Registry Services (New Zealand Domain Name Registry Limited) desk: +64 4 931 6977 mobile: +64 21 678840 _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
