The whole point of having NS records that are names rather than addresses in to allow one to change the address of a name server by updating a single record and perhaps a couple of glue records in the parent domains of that name. Requiring that all zones have servers that live within the zone defeats that. I suspect you have misunderstood something. Forcing people to update millions of records to change an address is nonsensical. <br><div dir="ltr">-- <div>Mark Andrews</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On 5 May 2023, at 07:06, Jim Peters <jpeters@dovetailinternet.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

For a few top-level domains that I deal with, the requirements of the TLD require that the name of the name server be a subdomain name of the zone. </div>

What I mean is that for the zone anotherdomain.TLD, I have to create NS records called DNS1.anotherdomain.TLD and DNS2.anotherdomain.TLD. Then I end up their A and AAAA records for ns1.anotherdomain.TLD and ns2.anotherdomain.TLD. </div>

I'm not having any operational issues with BIND/named. The problem is with the ma<span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">nagement software. When it finds the new name server names, it consumes
