In the "Reverse Delegation How To": http://www.ripe.net/rs/reverse/reverse_howto.html it states:
"NS Servers Ensure you have at least two nameservers that are authoritative for the zone. The resolvable names of these NS servers should be in the NS resource records of the zone. The nameservers should be on different subnets."
Yet when I submit a request I get: ***RDNS: (related to set) ERROR (20 points): At least 3 nameservers are required for each properly delegated zone. We found only 2 in your submission.
In addition the reverse delegation checker at: http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/delcheck/delcheck2.cgi doesn't flag only 2 nameservers as an error.
What gives?
Indeed you are right, something doesn't look quite right here. Thanks for flagging it I'll take a look.

Any news about this item? Changes to the domain objects are still rejected by the delegation checker due to the (wrong) requirement of 3 nameservers and this prevents us to perform simple updates (e.g. contact address changes).
My apologies, we answered Hank directly but I don't think the relevant information made it back to the db-wg. If you are requesting/updating a /16 the requirement for 3 nameservers is correct, the 3 comprising of 2 nameservers of your own and the mandatory inclusion of ns.ripe.net. We identified a problem in the wording of the error message that the delegation checker provides and this is being updated by our software engineering department so that the exact problem will be more obvious to users.
