I recently had to changethe IP address of my main DNS server and forgot to update the LUV server to allow transferring the data. I discovered this when the cached zone data expired and my own mail server was unable to send mail to the LUV server and a mon alert was raised about the inability to send mail. I've fixed the problem and configured another mon alert on DNS zones that don't transfer. As we had 2 servers still operating correctly at all times users would not have noticed. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

I can offer LUV two more authoritative nameservers, if you don't mind them being across an ocean (meteor-proofing ;-> ): ns1.linuxmafia.com, IP 198.144.195.186 ns1.svlug.org, IP 64.62.190.98 RFC2182 section 5 recommends minimum 3, maximum 7 per domain.
