Hello all, My name is João Pagaime and I work for FCCN, the Portuguese NREN that also operates the ccTLD-PT We're about to move "edu.pt" to a standalone DNS zone, and I'm searching for a secondary name server outside AS1930 Is there any NREN interested in swapping seconday name service? We can provide for secondary name service along the lines layed out bellow Our general requirements guidelines for the edu.pt are the following: availability requirements------------------------ It would be nice to have no more than 12 hours down time every 3 months that's 99.4% of availability response time------------------------------------ Less that 140 ms "DNS round-trip-time", measured from the .PT primary name server "DNS round-trip-time" on this context is considered to be the time it takes to answer a DNS query. We use "dig" to get this value estimated zone size------------------------------ about 2MB (measured at the secondary server text file) estimated query load-------------------------------- 20 queries/sec update/transfer strategy----------------------------- AXFR with notifies (no need to actually respond to notify. SOA timers suffice) 3 updates every day zone access policy-------------------------------- restricted Thank you, João Pagaime
