Hi,

I just spoke to a consultant working for a client of mine who is handling 
the network for the client.

I offered to host the site on my server but need to change the DNS from the 
current address to my server. So I asked the consultant to do that giving 
him my name server address dns1.xxx.com

He responded with the following and I am not clear on what he means. I 
don't know what CNAME means or NS records. I simply thought you go to the 
registrar and change the name server addresses. Can someone shed some light 
on this?

--------------------He wrote--------------------
Just to verify, you want me to create two NS records in the
client.org domain for www.client.org and point them to the
nameservers above? I usually create CNAME records for the web servers,
but I suppose NS records will work as well, as long as you have your name
servers set to handle the subdomain delegation. Please let me know if I
understand your request correctly.
--------------------------------------------------


Thanks

Nate
