Concerning the assumption of dns-wg about the useless of those tags and the absence of procedures based on them we would like to inform you that we are presently testing some automatic tools based exactly on those tags which we use before actually registering a new direct or inverse domain. Starting from the contained information, each server is queried on properly resolving the query.
Do you mean, you first build the domain object, insert it into the database and then get a list of nameservers out of it, in order to do your querying? And only then you consider the domain configuration ok?
If this is the case, why don't you get the NS list from the (soon to be) primary nameserver, and if all is ok then you register the domain itself and the domain object in the database? Or did I miss something?
Artur, many thanks for your help. I think it's necessary to explain our procedure. When we receive a domain form (domain registration template) we check the primary nameserver (we use the first "nameserver:" tag to locate it). How to find otherwise that server without a nameserver tag? If the primary nameserver is reachable and properly configured we continue checking secondary nameservers which should be listed in the domain form and as NS records in the primary nameserver. The above is a useful check because many times there are discrepancies in what is "declared" and what is actually configured. In addition, if in the domain form there is our nameserver listed as a secondary, we also check the refresh time, retry time, expiration period and default ttl. Only after a successful check the domain object is added to database and the country master server is reloaded with the new information. Regards, Daniele
We do this before registering a domain under PT...
