defining alias for nameserver

169 views Asked by At

I need your guidance with this issue. I am currently using a nameserver provided by service provider ns1.serviceProviderNameserver.com I wish to create my own nameserver ns1.myDomainNameServer.com and alias it on top of ns1.serviceProviderNameserver.com

such that in whois information for my domin, i can use my own nameserver ns1.myDomainNameServer.com and whenever my service provider change the ip addres of its nameserver ns1.serviceProviderNameserver.com, i do not have to change anything from my end.

Your guidance on this would be invaluable.

Unfortunately, the root zone only admits A records for your nameservers (in following with RFC2181 section 10.3). Depending on your application, it might be worthwhile to set up a monitoring script that checks to see if your provider's host record has changed, alerting you when it does and allowing you to submit a change for your WHOIS record.
