Re: DNS service - NS records

They don't support it because that's not proper DNS.

If someone asks for ww33.yourdomain.com, the DNS server should query:
1. root dns - what are NS for .com
2. .com DNS - what are NS for yourdomain.com
3. yourdomain.com DNS - what are NS for ww33.yourdomain.com

So you need to run your own DNS servers (or outsource) to get this working.

I used to use www.dyndns.org CustomDNS, their expert interface will let you set this up, it's $27.50/domain/year

I now run my own DNS servers, so it's unnecessary.

Thanks zinc,

yes, definitely ...wonky... (not proper).

Will check out the CustomDNS - thanks for the suggestion. Didn't know they offered such a service, always thought dyndns was mostly for home users wanting to run services.
