Hi Markus!

20 Nov 2016 14:22, from Markus Reschke -> Richard Menedetter:

 RM>> My NIC was quit nice, and they enabled the NSes (which were by
 RM>> then not authorative).
 MR> Lucky day.

Indeed ;)

 MR> Most NICs test for authoritative nameservers as a requirement for
 MR> updates. And this can't be circumvented because it's
 MR> automated that way.

They did test, but after I explained, they have manually overridden the process.
Lucky me ;)

 MR> And I was not allowed to use two addresses in the same /24 in a high
 MR> availability data center, each nameserver having two uplinks and
 MR> running OSPF. We even ran anycast back then across all data centers in
 MR> the EU for some services. Too advanced for some people ;)

That is so advanced that it is voodoo to them ;)
Indeed sad.

CU, Ricsi
