Hi, I am trying to set two dynamic nameserver IP addresses in my QNX system. I have been able to use confstr to set up an address by setting a "_nameserver=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" string into _CS_RESOLVE. Then res_search returns the correct IP address for a given name. I actually have two questions: How do I set up two nameservers (prima...
I have someone telling me that DNS servers only start responding after the whois record is updated to point at their DNS servers. Is this normal behaviour? Or should a DNS server respond before the whois record is updated? Also, once the domain is active, (so either after the domain is added or after the whois record is update, dependin...

When the user enters exit, both the server and the client exit. However I'm unable to kill the nameserver process. I started the nameserver using the command tnameserv -ORBInitialPo...
How accurately can a domain name's availibility be determined by checking for the existence of NS or SOA (Start of Authority) records? If not, how can I determine this as accurately as possible without resorting to WHOIS? For example, is it worth checking for MX records if no NS records exist? I am specifically interested in .co.za dom...
Although it's true that some recursive-nameserver configurations are (sloppily) referred to as "caching", e.g., by RHEL/Fedora/CentOS, that's a really bad name for that function -- because caching is orthogonal to recursion. Theoretically, you could write a nameserver that does recursive service but doesn't cache ...
