[dns-operations] All NSs for a TLD being in the TLD itself

Thu Oct 24 22:53:03 UTC 2013

Hi Paul,

Why would this be unsafe and/or fragile? As was already mentioned the root zone has to include glue for whichever name you choose anyway, due to the position in the hierarchy - so it's just a matter of reducing unnecessary dependencies for us. Happy to hear thoughts besides the "religious" believes. :)

Cheers,

The new records for one of the shiny new gTLDs are:

xn--ngbc5azd. 172800 IN NS a.nic.xn--ngbc5azd.
xn--ngbc5azd. 172800 IN NS b.nic.xn--ngbc5azd.

d.nic.xn--ngbc5azd. 172800 IN A 37.209.198.3
d.nic.xn--ngbc5azd. 172800 IN AAAA 2001:dcd:4:0:0:0:0:3

This works, of course, but it feels a bit fragile for me. Is there a history of this being unsafe? Of being more safe than NSs whose names are in other TLDs?
