Hi I wounder if anyone can help:

I've been told by two people two different things about regestring a
domain name.

One person says you must add the domain zone files to the DNS server and
alter named.boot accordingly and then email Internic requesting a link
from the root servers to the DNS Server hosting the zone files.

The other says you must email internic before altering the DNS server
files.

Who is right???

Thanks for your help.

Regards, Lee.
