Information about DNS and network

So I was looking into some old information and noticed that a draft to expand reserved tld list (https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-chapin-rfc2606bis-00.html)

But it was left alone until it expired.

What would have been the issues that would have caused the draft to be disregarded and never adopted?

I have only a handful of domains over at Namecheap. Originally I was using their hosted DNS as well. Several months ago, the MX records completely disappeared from one of my domains, which I only noticed after failing to receive email. I had been happy with Namecheap up to that point, so didn’t think much of it. I did move my DNS over to Cloudflare. I also use DNSSEC, which requires adding DS records for each of my domains at Namecheap. About two weeks ago, the DS record for one of my domains also randomly was deleted. I was angered but simply re-added to record, opened a support ticket, and went on my way. The support staff left much to desire in their response, nearly failing to recognize the issue at all. Now just this morning, the DS record for yet another domain went completely missing. Unfortunately the page at this domain is a DNSSEC testing app which I wrote. The disappearance of the DS record broke DNSSEC for that domain, and caused my app to report false failures for all tests. Needless to say I’m pretty irate right now. And to make matters worse, their Advanced DNS page will no longer save my changes to the DNSSEC setting, meaning I am unable to re-instate the missing DS record. So just a warning to anyone reading this, don’t trust Namecheap to keep your DNS and DNSSEC records safe. I’m transferring my domains away immediately.

Edit: Before anyone asks, my Namecheap account is secured with a unique, random password and a FIDO security key.

Short story: some bad guys set dns alias to our cname, now other dumb guys yell at us like “remove it immediately, how dare you to support piracy!”. Right now we just say them that we can’t do anything, but one day probably some extra dumb guy will appear and will not understand that… So what can we do to fight bad guys?

Best dns servers for low latency

I need some help as this is out of my area of expertise.

I had a domain registered with NameCheap. It expired so I moved it to my AWS account.

Now I can manage everything in Route 53. I have it configured just like a similar domain I have but when I go to my domain, it still points to NameCheap.

How do I fix this? I’m not sure where to start.

So, I have been trying some DNS benchmarking and I’m a bit confused by the following:

When I run dig ns sb. @a.root-servers.net

I see 4 tld name servers:
ns.cocca.fr
ns.coccaregistry.org
pch.nic.sb
sns-pb.isc.org

But when I run dig sb. +nssearch I only get the SOA (and query time, which I’m interested in) forns.cocca.fr and pch.nic.sb

I think this might have something to do with the fact that dig sb. NS only returns those two and the fact thatdig sb. @sns-pb.isc.org NS doesn’t return anything and dig sb. @ns.coccaregistry.org NS returns only ns.cocca.fr and pch.nic.sb

Is all this intentional? If so: to what purpose?
And practically speaking: during actual DNS resolution, will all 4 tld nameservers be used?
I tried some actual domain names, like dig test.sb @ns.coccaregistry.org and that seems to work fine.. (but dig test.sb @sns-pb.isc.org is refused)

Thanks for any pointers/insights!

I succeeded in setting up my authoritative nameservers. All seems to be working well. The secondary servers (those that are public facing) are 4, in 4 different geographic locations and with 4 different providers. Really cool.

Now, I realize that 3 of these are not DDoS protected. How much a must is DDoS protection when hosting your own nameservers?

hi i have an vps which i don’t have dns control of (i can’t change NS for domains simple don’t have access to them)

so what i used to to is just go to namecheap point my domains NS to Cloudflare and in cloudflare add the DNS Records point to my vps ip. and simple in cpanel add the domain.

for some simple html stuff it used to work, but i have a project that this solution won’t work for.

​

so i was wondering can i do something like this :

at my name cheap point a domain to NS i created in name cheap with (Some DNS service Ip or records) then in that DNS Service Point to my VPS ?

​

i think i’m missing something please share you opinion
