I was hoping I could do it without having to use NSI, since the primary nameserver for the domain in question is also the primary for about 600 other domains. I guess the real question is when I do a whois(1) I see the primary and secondary nameserver along with their IP address. If the IP address of one of them changes is this information static (meaning I have to go through all 600+ and change each one) or will NSI and the root servers pickup this information dynamically based on the changes I make? -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
