Host modification / Nominet

[Ron Pitts]

yeah.

No problem, I've done a change last week without any problems.

If you co.uk domains are registered to a DNS .com server and you change the
.com host IP, they will get updated as well.

thanks for your (as usual) helpful and informative response.

I was talking about a host, not a zone.

i.e. a DNS server registered with Netsol.

The zone that the host belongs to is held by us, so obviously we will update
the RR for it as well as asking Netsol to update their host entry.

After thinking about it some more, I would expect that as far as Nominet go,
us updating the RR for the server should be enough, but I'm not sure whether
the FQDN *and* IP of NS records is hard coded at Nominet, plus there is the
whois db to consider.
