Surely you jest. Well, maybe not. I can see *some* of the tier-1 providers being reasonably reliable about this. On the other hand... I can name at least three national providers that I wouldn't trust to configure their *own* DNS properly. (Don't ask, this isn't the time or place for flamewars. :-) While I'm not particularly enchanted with the Internic, I think that their day-to-day proceedures are working tolerably well. (Note that I'm not discussing their policies, just implementation). I'd rather see them doing it than many other organizations. /a --- Alexis Rosen Owner/Sysadmin, PANIX Public Access Unix & Internet, NYC. [email protected] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
