setup for .us TLD ?delegated domain?<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV>Issue 1:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am trying to register a domain under
lewisville.tx.us<BR><BR>I first need to setup my DNS server to be ready to
handle DNS<BR>requests. While I can and have setup second level
domains (something.com)<BR>I am having difficulty configuring DNS for a
third level domain (a<BR>locality). Once I register
mydomain.lewsiville.tx.us it is my understanding<BR>that I will then
have hosts under that domain...such
as<BR>NS.mydomain.lewisville.tx.us and CNAME records like
<A
href="http://www.mydomain.lewisville.tx.us">www.mydomain.lewisville.tx.us</A><BR><BR>I've
tried setting up my DNS to handle such requests but NSLOOKUP always fails
when I query my own DNS record for an entry that I have made... such
as ns.mydomain.lewisville.tx.us </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Am I missing something config wise?? Because this is a third
level domain, must all queries go back to ns.gen.tx.us FIRST and T H E
N come to me?? Should I just submit the application and see what
happens?? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Issue 2:</DIV>
<DIV>I understand that it is technically invalid to have one server serve as
both primary and secondary DNS server. In the case of having to
satisfy the requirements to have two DNS servers, is it possible to
configure your primary DNS server with a secondary IP address and have the
DNS service respond for both? How would that be done?</DIV>
