Okay I have Qube2 here and is dont allow me to add the second NS record via 
the Web front end,  I also have a RaQ2 here and that dont allow me to do it 
either ? and My RaQ3 is the same,

So If you know how to add the second NS record without editing the 
pri.domain.x.y.z Zone files directly and to only use the Web Front end then 
please tell me. Thanks.

There is only add A record  MX CNAME and the usual reverse stuff. only the 
delegate sub domain allows the add of Pri NS and Sec NS entries. and thats 
not the same.

It is a requirement to have

IN      NS      pri.dns.net.
IN      NS      sec.dns.net.

as is the requirement to have more than one MX record. which you can add 
via the WEB GUI Front end.


So how do you get your two NS record into your Zone file then ?

entries see the relevant RFC's and the DNS & Bind books  Also RIPE and RA 
require this.

The fact this feature in not included will stop me getting any more Cobalt 
products for this company.

It needs to be fixed. Please.

Regards Barry


Thanks  Barry
