Hmm let me see, our .net domain has glue records set up for the nameservers... all domains we register use those nameservers. No problem. Your variation if I understand it is you dont wish to use those addresses you want to use a subdomain to which your point is perfectly okay that one references the other and the other has glue in place. So you are saying that these registrars only allow you to register against nameservers which have glue records? Seems kind of a silly restriction as this would appear to be how ccTLDs resolve (which require recursion to find the cc nameservers and the glue there etc).. I guess the obvious answer is as these are your domains dont use registrars who impose such restrictions on you? Just looking thro what you're doing tho, I dont follow that the ns*.mxx1.net nameservers have a reduced load, also its not clear what the gain is in this setup when DNS loads are so small anyway?
