Quoting Giampaolo Tomassoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
From: Jeff Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Yes, delegation is the other, more usual, way that the nameserver in
the whois and TLD root server may differ. Some spammers do make use
of a lot of delegation, more than usual and sometimes in long chains
of delegation, but delegation beyond the typical glue records is not
necessarily the sign of a spam domain.
It is not delegation. Delegation is when you delegate the handling of DNS
requests on a subdomain of your domain to a different DNS server, not the
handling of the domain itself. The latter is fooling your registration data:
you register your domain specifying a couple of nameservers, then instead
use others. Basically, wherever (in the world) you are, your registrar asks
you to specify "at least two *authoritative* nameservers for your domain" in
your registration. Then, that nameservers says they are not authoritative
for the domain. See the conflict?
It is delegation. You may want to review how DNS works.
