Hello Rebecca,
The new portal allows members to manage their own DNS
records. You can
also claim any existing DNS records under
ampr.org in the zonefile.
Why would the new portal system let people manipulate DNS records for
other people's allocations? That sounds like a very bad idea.
Option 2 (Recommended ONLY for certain use cases):
. . .
Once you have found your records, click on the "Claim" icon, which
will create a new ticket for an admin to process. Keep an eye out for
ticket updates, as the admin may wish to ask questions to clarify your
request. If the admin is happy with your request, your request will be
approved, and your DNS record will be assigned to your account. You
can view the record by selecting "My records" from the "DNS" menu.
Who is this "admin"? Is this the regional AMPR subnet coordinator that
will review and bless this "DNS claim"?
I need to check out the new portal now that it's back up but were all
the old DNS records pulled into the portal system? I know at least in
my 44.4.0.0/16 zone, there are still some legacy DNS entries that don't
reflect to specific allocations that the old AMPR portal had any record
of. This all happened with a previous regional coordinator and while I
continue to try to contact these people, it's very VERY slow going.
