Subj: [kl] Nameserver switch complete ...
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 02:22:09 -0500

Sometimes I surprise myself. The switch to a new set of nameservers for
Sneezy (ns1.sneezy.org and ns2.sneezy.org) went painlessly. Everything
worked out fine.

For those of you who care about the technical stuff:
www.sneezy.org & ns1.sneezy.org share the same IP address,
207.252.168.40, with www.sneezy.org the name for the reverse lookup.
mail.sneezy.org and ns2.sneezy.org share the same IP address,
207.252.168.41, with mail.sneezy.org the name for the reverse lookup.
The MX record for sneezy.org points to mail.sneezy.org .

All virtual domains use the 207.252.168.40 address. All mail for virtual
domains is handled by qmail, and an unlimited number of email addresses
per virtual domain can be created by the owner of the virtual domain &
forwarded to a permanent address at the owner's ISP.

Both IP addresses are on the same machine - different cards, though.
Both nameservers violate some of the appropriate RFCs for nameservers
(they're not supposed to be the same machine & they're supposed to
resolve to their own name on a reverse lookup) - but it works
nonetheless. Since I'm not nameserving for a network, just one machine
with multiple virtual domains, having a true secondary NS isn't
important.
