Okay just be sure here's what I'm going to do. Let's say the
domain is xyz9.org and zone file currently looks like this:
$DOMAIN xyz9.org.
...
IN NS ns1.xyz9.org.
IN NS ns2.xyz9.org.
...
ns1 IN A 192.168.12.21
ns2 IN A 192.168.12.22
ns3 IN A 10.0.0.21
Yes I know those are not internet-routable IP addresses. They are
just examples. :) I'm going to use the NSI interface to set the
primary for xyz9.org to ns3 with the new IP address. Both ns1 and
ns3 will be configured with all the same zone files. Sit back and
hope it doesn't take NSI months to fulfill their end of the deal.
Will that work? Are there any stumbling blocks with this approach?
Thanks.
