They insist on registering hosts before having them as primary/secondaries so that they know the contacts for a name server. This also associates an object with that name server so that they can establish who has the right to add domains to that name server. Before they did this, some of our customers would submit domain applications listing our shell machines as name servers. God only knows why. Internic would create records for these name servers automatically with our customers as contacts, and we had to manually delete them. It was a _major_ pain. How many name servers do you have that registering them separately is a problem? DS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
