I hope that the dns email robot still remains because it is a very handy convenient way if you are near a server system without X-windows or if you have to make several entries at once. It just works quicker and I have a record of it.

So, how do I get DNS records created in the ampr.org domain? I understand that in the past, there was an email robot, but I have been unable to find any details on how to use it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
There is an old email robot that is available to your regional address coordinator, or you may send your requests to me.
We hope to have the DNS portion of the portal available in some weeks but there is a question of how to transition from the old robot to the new portal DNS that has yet to be settled.
Will there be another mechanism to update the DNS entries besides the portal? Our local backend is feeding our DNS updates on a daily basis by email. We need a proper replacement if the email robot will be turned off.
The changeover may require everyone to re-enter their DNS entries at the portal unless we can come up with a better way of doing it. The problem is that the existing DNS records are filled with obsolete and incorrect entries so we can't simply grandfather all the old records into the new system.
A cleanup of the ampr.org zone would be very nice. Are there any offical rules how the records should look like (e.g. each A-record needs to include [*.]<callsign>.ampr.org) in future? Of course we should keep the experimental character of amateur radio in mind... Currently we have some nice and useful "exceptions" in the zone file.
