It's pretty much the way it is, so discussing choices for registrar, |
| 17 |
so that one can provide their own complete delegations of authority |
| 18 |
under a domain name, is worth paying for. I do not think discussing |
| 19 |
this on a list such as this is a bad idea. After all my primary name |
| 20 |
server will be a stripped down gentoo server, running iptables, |
| 21 |
either hardened or selinux with either Bind or DJBDNS. The fact that |
| 22 |
a few dollars has to change hands does not make the topic, evil, |
| 23 |
or undesirable, does it? |

This is an interesting option, but, one where I do not control |
| 33 |
100% of the DNS config files, is not going to work for my needs. |
| 34 |
Still, what you metion is of curiosity. |

That's not likely to be an option with most of the ISPs I've ever |
| 40 |
used. They what to controls the dns config files and point to |
| 41 |
an ip address with services as they see fit. Disfunctional, at best. |

Your connection, or lack thereof to the entity is of minute concern to me. |
| 47 |
I'd be very happy if a network admin at a registrar was on this list |
| 48 |
can could articulate why their dns services are robust, particularly |
| 49 |
using gentoo based machines. |
