In the two most probable scenarios of unreachability: 1. branch.com has connectivity problems with the world: The "backup" servers aren't reachable either. 2. Customer has connectivity problems with branch.com: The hosts to be resolved probably aren't reachable anyway. When it is necessary to maintain a backup nameserver on a network administered by someone else, and frequent changes are required for maintenance of said nameserver, a system would be necessary to oversee such changes. I don't think that this situation is widespread enough to justify standardization. Most of our customers here have one or two domains, and rarely, if ever, add more (excepting the in-addr hierarchy, but since we assign them address space anyway, we can't unload that part of the duty). // Matt Zimmerman Chief of System Management NetRail, Inc. // [email protected] [email protected] // (703) 524-4800 [voice] (703) 524-4802 [data] (703) 534-5033 [fax]
