The reason I say this is that some folks automatically reload their nameservers which have tens of thousands of domain names once a day and have clients that want domains registered on the same day they request them. (queuing is not an option.)
Ok, so here's the stupid question of the month (and I ask this with all due regard for the time and effort Paul has put into BIND)... Given (for example) PostGreSQL, is there any reason why someone hasn't ported the algorithms of BIND on top of something like it? It seems to me that it ought to be possible to keep a nameserver running whilst one is doing maintenance on it... (and PS: I realize that the answer to this may amount to Nameserver 101; if you think so, respond privately; I'll summarize to any one who cares...) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
