What you can do though, is have an hidden primary master as described here: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/excerpt/dnsbindcook_ch07/ You can manage that yourself and let upstream servers be authoritative, which gives you control over the domain without the responsibility of serving it. Not all domain companies will support it though. That book and its companion DNS and Bind will tell you more than you ever needed to know. s/ > > -- My CV: http://bit.ly/sfgreenwood_cv Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/simonfgreenwood Twitter: @sfgreenwood
