Here are some recommendations to help you: * Make sure you set up at least two name servers that are authoritative for the zone * Ensure that the servers are at least in different subnets, but preferably in different networks that are geographically distributed ## reverse lookup still lists wannes as contact; don't know if WDS20-RIPE still reads his emails ? :-) but changing reverse ip info needs second nameserver up & running (in a different subnet..) / TODO: check wth tharyrok if i understood this correctly...
