RE: [cobalt-users] dodgy nameservers

OK better to use a proper tld domain (.com, .net,.org etc).  octagono.uk.com
is just a sub-domain operated by uk.com.  TLDs talks directly to Internic's 
Root servers and therefore you are the only one who can change/alter DNS info 
from your registar.  In the case of .uk.com there are sub-root servers 
reporting the DNS of anything.uk.com to the Internic's Root Servers.  So 
anything happens to uk.com servers will show negative results on your own 
domain.  To see how complex the DNS in graphics see the link below and enter 
the domain octagono.uk.com to check:

I think centeral nic made this to allow people to register domains that looks 
like country top level domains which is not.  Actually they are just providing 
a DNS root server to reflect the domain (sub-domain) data to the Internic.

They register almost all counteries:

.uk.com (Centeral Nic)        .co.uk (UK real top level domain)
.sa.com (Centeral Nic)        .com.sa (Saudi Arabia real top level domain).

............etc

So for your own server and dns you should use a TLD domain that you have a 
total control over.
