I've never heard about a free registrar. AFAIK all of them are commercial. However if we talk about a free service provider I hope it won't be a problem, so I would propose you to try the DNS service provided by http://www.everydns.net/ . It is free and if you don't like it you could just replace it with another one which would serve you better. If you also need reverse resolving then you have to ask your ISP to put your domain name in their DNS. HTH P.S. I have no connection nor relation with "EveryDNS.net" other than I'm using their free DNS service and I'm pleased with it. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

It's pretty much the way it is, so discussing choices for registrar, so that one can provide their own complete delegations of authority under a domain name, is worth paying for. I do not think discussing this on a list such as this is a bad idea. After all my primary name server will be a stripped down gentoo server, running iptables, either hardened or selinux with either Bind or DJBDNS. The fact that a few dollars has to change hands does not make the topic, evil, or undesirable, does it? > However if we talk about a free service provider I > hope it won't be a problem, so I would propose you to try the DNS > service provided by http://www.everydns.net/ .

This is an interesting option, but, one where I do not control 100% of the DNS config files, is not going to work for my needs. Still, what you metion is of curiosity. > If you also need reverse resolving then you have to ask your ISP to put > your domain name in their DNS. That's not likely to be an option with most of the ISPs I've ever used. They what to controls the dns config files and point to an ip address with services as they see fit. Disfunctional, at best. > I have no connection nor relation with "EveryDNS.net" other than I'm > using their free DNS service and I'm pleased with it. Your connection, or lack thereof to the entity is of minute concern to me. I'd be very happy if a network admin at a registrar was on this list can could articulate why their dns services are robust, particularly using gentoo based machines. thanks for the link, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Hello Preston et al, Your chosen service (afraid.org) combined with the others: (zoneedit && everydns) look interesting. However, what I'm looking for is a registrar like: http://www.goaustraliadomains.com/ that is inexpensive (8.95/yr) and will point (100%) authority to my primary name server, at my static IP address. What I would like is a server that provides secondary service(resolution) while allowing me to run the primary server on my single static IP. Often folks exchange secondary services, agreeing to security semantics that preclude nefarious activities such as spamming, dos, etc etc. I understand in this day and age, folks have security concerns with that sort of arrangement(unless they agree on the security semantics) but it is preferred and allows me to run my own dns config files and maintain authority. Merely pointing resource records and such in a config file on a server that somebody else controls, is not really what I'm looking for. Maybe I'm being too idealistic here, but, this goes to the very heart of what I consider 'community'; community is a fundamental tenant of the Internet, methinks. Surely this is not so difficult to find other like minded technical folks that share/provide secondary dns resolution for others? Surely we there is a wiki or one can be developed where folks follow to provide secure secondary dns services for one another? If an unfair 'bandwidth' arrangement become apparent, I believe we have the necessary (QOS) technology (iptables/netfilter) to limit the bandwidth consumed by a secondary name service one provides for another. If the more technical folks to not share such solutions with the youth of the internet, folks will grow up thinking that haveing your own dns means somebody else points resource records to your server, and precludes the masses from experiencing the power of running their own dns services. Sure the root authority is still needed, but robust, multifaceted dns services are a quinessential tool for the future of the internet. It's been a few years since I've set up primary and secondary DNS services, but, surely the rfc's (1033 -1035) are still followed? Most of the newer(proposed) rfc's related to DNS do not look appealing to me; but, I have not studied them in depth to certify that sort of conclusion. I wonder why the various 'dns services' offered either for free or for a fee, do not mention which rfc's they are in compliance with? Are there any readers of this list that still provide their own primary/secondary dns services? Or offer secondary services to others for a fee or free? I'm either a dinosaur or I have missed something fundamental on the evolution of DNS? confused, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
