[UA-discuss] ns records across TLD spaces.

[sivasubramanian muthusamy]

While experimenting with the most basic tasks of setting up dns
records, I checked the configuration for errors, there are many.  In
this process, one of warings from this bot is almost commented out:

"Since the GTLD for your domain (company) differs from that of your
nameservers (com), the result of this test are irrelevant since the
parent servers aren't even required to hold the A records for your
nameservers."   ( Please see the attached image.)

Parents servers in one gTLD space are not required to hold the A
records (even if the A records happen to be that of nameservers) from
a different gTLD space. It is probably not expected also. It might
possibly be due to the technical difficulties in distinguishing
between the A records and singling out the A records pertaining the
name servers.

This may not be within the limits of the definition of what
constitutes UA, but might mildly and very indirectly contribute to the
issue of Universal Acceptance.

Would it be of value if there is a Grandparent nameserver?
