If your host is to be > ns1.foobar.com, you register it via the registrar for foobar.com. I think what Randy meant was the fun of THIS sort of thing happening: 1) Hosting company registers ns1.big-hosting.com with NetSol. 2) Joe's Bar registers itself with CheapRegister, hosted by (1), so of course their NS is ns1.big-hosting.com even though they are joes-bar.com 3) Fred's Bowling Alley registers itself with AnotherRegistrar, who is more picky about the NS records - so they say "ns1.freds-bowling.com" but give the A record for ns1.big-hosting.com because that's who's actually doing it. 4) Now just *try* and change any of this without leaving bits and pieces of shredded and mangled DNS clue records from here to Zaire. /Valdis
