as a FYI, if you have a WPI alumni account at alum.wpi.edu, you can set up and use them as a secondary name server (as long as you're not a large company or ISP) https://alum.wpi.edu/cgi-bin/alumni On Sun, Oct 20, 2013 at 9:41 PM, Keith Wright <kwright@keithdiane.us> wrote: ....
Since I have only one IP address on one DSL line, I never really saw the need for a secondary server in the first place. I run a primary server because (A) I like to think of myself as a programmer, and it is self education to figure out how to do it. (B) Sometimes I create subdomains and run test program servers in them.
The RFC's require a second name server, and the registrar asks for it, but who's going to care really? If the primary name server goes out, so do all other servers in the domain, since it's all really just one computer.
What would you recommend?
If anyone else has the same problem, I could be your secondary, and you could be mine.
