Name Servers

[Stefan Probst]

May I add, that according to my very limited knowledge - pls. correct me,
where I am wrong - there are actually two steps - at least with "InterNIC"
(NS):
First you have to register your host. (one time per host)
Then you can use that registered host as nameserver for other domains.
(one time for every domain).

If you register a new domain with InterNIC, you'll have to name two
authoritative name servers. I am not sure, whether you need hosts which
are registered with them, or whethere it is ok to use hosts which are
registered with another registrar.

I also do not know, whether the requirement concerning the "registered"
hosts also applies to other registrars in the gTLDs and/or the ccTLDs.

So, in short back to the original question:
- you register your authoritative nameserver_s_ with the organization,
  which is authoritative for your parent domain.
- you may have to register the host on which you are running the
nameserver
  but I don't know the exact requirements.
