Hi list,

I'm upping this post because, I came back to it and thought about an  
architecture than could do the job.

I'm thinking about setting up a MyDNS server which will be availiable  
to modify the zones but will not answer any queries, nor be  
registered as a Nameserver in the whois DB.

The two actual DNS Serveur would keep Bind9 and would become  
configured as slaves to the MyDNS servers.  These two will answer  
queries from the outside world and will be the two nameservers  
registered in the WHOIS DB as authoritative for the zones.

IMHO that would fits our needs, and I would like to have your advice  
on this.

Thanks in advance

Olivier
