Hi folks, I hope here is somebody with a clue, because I don't have one. While this is not really that much FreeBSD-related, I hope someone can give me a hint. Basically, I tried to change the DNS servers for one of my domains today. However, DeNIC (the .de registry) declined, because obviously the new nameservers do not comply with their strict standards. Now I have never set up or maintained DNS servers myself, so I do not know too much about this, but here's the problem report they sent me: > Register.com is unable to complete your DNS transfers as the .DE registry > has strict requirements for DNS servers. They require that DNS information > be: > > 1. Must be on 2 separate class-c networks > 2. SOA Minimum = 86400 > 3. SOA Expire = 604800 > 4. SOA Retry = 3600 > 5.

Or do you think they have a reason for having their stuff set up as it is, and they will be unable to "correct" this? Like I said, this is not really FreeBSD-related. But I know that some great folks who have a clue about almost everything hang around here, and I thought I might ask without running the danger of anyone starting to throw rocks on me or something. ;-) Bye, Nils <nils@thunderbridge.de> --> NEU: Das Thunderbridge Forum: http://forum.thunderbridge.de :NEU <-- -- "I painted all your pigeons red - I wish I had stayed home instead" FreeBSD gaffa.thunderbridge.de 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #7: Mon Jun 9 21:01:40 CEST 2003 root@gaffa.thunderbridge.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JAZZY i386 5:27PM up 13 days, 3:49, 2 users, load averages: 0.10, 0.09, 0.08
