If ns1.foo.com and ns2.foo.com are the nameservers of foo.com then the IP addresses is a must. If then ns3.foo.com and ns1.foo.se are the namesevers of bar.com, neither of the IP addresses are needed (the IP address of ns1.foo.se is forbidden in com zone). The IP address of ns3.foo.com is to be found in the foo.com zone through normal lookup. > The IP address is only a required element for name servers within the > registry's authoritative TLDs. The IP address is only needed if the nameserver is the nameserver of its own zone. That's the strict glue. If you don't think it works, I'll have to find some exampel from the SE zone. :-) Mats ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mats Dufberg +46-8-545 857 06 dufberg@nic-se.se fax: +46-8-545 857 29
