I will include your proposal in the presentation to > be discused/agreed (it seems fine to me) Sorry, this just hit me. Unfortunately, we don't use IP addresses in NS records. We use domainnames. Try this instead: example.org. NS ns1.example.org. ns1.example.org. A 10.1.2.3 AAAA 2001:800:40:2a2f::1 > - The same equipment with to IP address/interfaces.

Well, if the routes are via different providers, and the network administrator ensures that the incoming and outgoing packets are routed via the appropriate provider, I don't see what the problem is. You can always have sub-optimal routing, that's just something you have to live with. Otherwise, BIND is good at knowing which interface a given query came in on, and making sure that the reply goes back out on the same interface. So, there shouldn't be any filtering problems, at least not any more than you could potentially run into anyway. And I don't see any reason to use any of the other methods, regardless. The only issue I see here is that the delegation data won't match the in-zone data for these hostnames, unless you make changes at your registrar. Of course, some registrars may limit the number of known IP addresses for a given host/domain name, so you may have to decide how you want to deal with that problem. > -PROs: avoid installing a temporary machine > -CONs: Two changes in the NIC in place of one. > I prefer one change in the NIC (I am really, really afraid of some NICs > working methods) and use your solution if no duplicate server is possible. > We can discuss it, of course. I think you have the problem of multiple changes at the registrar no matter what. -- Brad Knowles, <brad at stop.mail-abuse.org> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
