On the other hand, maybe there is another solution. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Run at least two nameservers.
This is a no-brainer.
1. If you're running only a primary and no secondaries, your DNS is an accident waiting to happen.
Guess I should have said "run at least two sets of nameservers, i.e. two primaries and two secondaries. One set for recent additions... etc.".
I am of the opinion that you should have one or two nameservers on site and work out something with another ISP in another physical location, hanging off a different backbone, to also use their nameservers. (A lot of people will do secondaries at no charge, especially if you work out a reciprocal agreement with them). -- Steve Sobol [sjsobol@nacs.net] Part-time Support Droid [support@nacs.net] NACS Spaminator [abuse@nacs.net] Spotted on a bumper sticker: "Possum.
