List: Sorry for posting to Fedora list but could not find step by step instructions anywhere nor get any concerned list to respond...so thought of fedora list which has always been by last resort ;-) Newbie to DNS technicals but can work with instructions if given in ./configure for complete idiots ;-) 1. I have taken a static IP from my ISP 203.134.221.162 and the ISP has put up an entry in APNIC whois (please check the same)...to me it seems incomplete, as it does not give any contact information/tel/email for my organization NOR any abuse email Id etc. On asking, the ISP simply told me that nobody asks anything more in whois entry from them so I would have to tell what I want of them. Please advise what a standard whois reply should show for an organisation and pointers to a RFC which guides the structure & field names of a whois record. 2. Classless delegation...I want to setup my own primary DNS Server on my DSL with secondary slave DNS servers on the net with DNS services like zoneedit.com etc. Now, I want my ISP to delegate my IP so, I can change my IP reverse DNS etc...(whenever I want instead of waiting for my ISP which takes over a month & multiple contacts, letters & faxes). Please advise what the ISP requires to do and what I require to do & in what order. My ISP says that they will do whatever is possible but since they have never had a query for delegation for a single IP, so they are not sure. Does the TinyDNS server have to be prepared in advance of the APNIC delegation entry? Does the ISP have to create a account/ID with APNIC for me? Please advise the generalised procedure & the steps sequence wise to be taken to do this. DNS Guruz please help...am desperate. With regards. Sanjay.
