RE: EPP and # of nameservers

["Michael Young" <myoung@libertyrms.com>]

Saludos de Julián,

The requirement for two nameservers really relates to best practises in
respect of DNS related RFC's such as this excerpt from #1912.  So I
would say in a registry that it’s a policy decision based on separate
considerations of EPP.   

Hope that helps.

2.8 Authority and Delegation Errors (NS records)

   You are required to have at least two nameservers for every domain,
   though more is preferred.  Have secondaries outside your network.  If
   the secondary isn't under your control, periodically check up on them
   and make sure they're getting current zone data from you.  Queries to
   their nameserver about your hosts should always result in an
   "authoritative" response.  If not, this is called a "lame
   delegation".  A lame delegations exists when a nameserver is
   delegated responsibility for providing nameservice for a zone (via NS
   records) but is not performing nameservice for that zone (usually
   because it is not set up as a primary or secondary for the zone).

Subject: EPP and # of nameservers


Hello,

I would like to know if the EPP protocol forces 2 nameservers per domain
name, or it won't work.

Or it is really a decision of a registry to not allow only 1 nameserver.


Thank you,
