During a complete renumbering, I'm trying to establish a standard for
DNS records. After all, every zone file is going to have to be touched,
so we might as well update them at the same time. Various techs have
done odd things over the past decade.
Having no guidance so far from this group, despite the grumbling about
times becoming shorter and lack of analysis, I thought "Well, vixie
will know the best practice!"
I remain unenlightened. Should it be 2 days? Or 1 hour? And why the
inconsistent results? Obsolete root glue records?
A simple dig yields:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
vix.com. 2D IN NS ns-ext.vix.com.
vix.com. 2D IN NS ns1.gnac.com.
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
vix.com. 2D IN NS ns1.gnac.com.
vix.com. 2D IN NS ns-ext.vix.com.
But a dig directly to the ns1.gnac.com or ns-ext.vix.com server yields:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
vix.com. 1H IN NS ns.lah1.vix.com.
vix.com. 1H IN NS ns.sql1.vix.com.
vix.com. 1H IN NS ns-ext.isc.org.
vix.com. 1H IN MX 10 sa.vix.com.
vix.com. 1H IN MX 20 fh.vix.com.
vix.com. 1H IN TXT "$Id: vix.com,v 1.190 2004/08/12 19:06:05 vixie Exp $"
vix.com. 1H IN A 204.152.188.231
