Re: [44net] Verifying the identities of IP coordinators

I ask again What is so important to clean the DNS from all the amount of unused hosts ? is it a matter of load on the DNS that result in a slow response ? or any other effect im not aware of ? The only thing i can think of is making zone transfer of big file twice a day but in this days transferring even 10 MegaByte file each day consider nothing Maybe Brian can answer this ? However to answer your question Authorized users can change the DNS data there is a format needed to be sent in the email that the robot know to inter-prate something such as : <host name > <add or delete> <what kind of record should it be (MX A etc)> <Ip adress> you send each host as a single line and you can more then one line Since the robot have a format checking mechanism you dont have to be a DNS expert in order to add or delete hosts specially if you want only to add host name and not complex things such as MX records or CNAME Regards Ronen - 4z4zq http://www.ronen.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. What information must a coordinator send to the ampr.org DNS to create/modify a listing? 2. Is there a standard entry format for the information a coordinator sends in, or is it parsed by hand? 4. Is it possible for me to reformat the existing files, knowing little about DNS? hth. 73, Bill KW4OC _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
