NETTICA ANNOUNCES SECONDARY DNS SERVICES
6/7/2004
We are pleased to announce the launch of our Secondary DNS
services. Secondary DNS services allows Nettica to be the secondary or
backup DNS servers for your primary DNS server. This allows you to extend
the redundancy of your current DNS service with low-latency, reliable servers.
Our Secondary DNS service gives you two additional nameservers
to add to your current DNS service provider. Secondary service is
available on two of our five authoritative nameservers:
| Name Server |
IP Address |
Location |
Type |
| dns2.nettica.com |
64.237.45.34 |
New York Datacenter |
Secondary |
| dns4.nettica.com |
69.41.170.223 |
Dallas Datacenter |
Secondary |
To keep our pricing model as simple as possible,
secondary service costs the same as our low-cost primary service. If you
are a bulk services customer, you now have the option of creating both primary
or secondary DNS zones in bulk.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Question:
How do I setup my DNS to use Nettica as the secondary DNS
service?
Answer:
To setup Nettica as the secondary DNS service
provider there are three steps involved:
-
Add dns2.nettica.com and dns4.nettica.com to this list of Name Servers for
your domain. You do this at your domain registrar.
-
Next, go to your Primary DNS service provider and add two additional NS records
(Name Server records) for dns2.nettica.com and dns4.nettica.com
-
Finally, you need to configure your secondary DNS service at Nettica providing
us with the name and IP address of your master DNS server (usually the primary
DNS server). This will allow us to accept zone transfer requests
from your master DNS server.
