Very Computer

I want to change the IP adress of my DNS without changing the name.
ns1.mydomain.fr = nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
to
ns1.mydomain.fr = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

My registrar pretends that it is not possible. I think IT IS possible.

Am i wrong or not ????

Thanks

Christophe

What makes you think so? And then, why in the world do you want to change
the numerical IP-address? To what value? Your ISP could change it inside
his allocated IP-block, but not to some number *you* want to use. It has
to be inside his block, and it has to be unused.
This makes no sense at all

Since the ns1.mydomain.fr A record is presumably inside your own
domain, you determine what it is.

Your registrar, or rather the .fr nameserver, stores this record
as a glue record. How they will know about the change I don't know,
but they should have a procedure for that.  Maybe automatic.

It's probably best to have both A records -- and have a nameserver
listen on both addresses -- for a transitional period to ensure
nothing goes wrong.  Check the timeout values on your SOA and NS
records for how long.

So far my entirely uneducated advice.

You're right, u can change it into any valid internet IP number. If the
registra have a website interface then u can make the changes there or just
ask for it to be change into something else. Remember though that when u
change it into some other IP, the new IP either have to be a DNS server
running any flavor of DNS software. You can check out www.zoneedit.com where
they have free DNS server with nice web-interface.

Hope that helps

What makes u think that the IP of the DNS server has to be inside the ISP
block? And it has to be unsused?
