| What is "lame delegation" and why is it a bad thing? |
Q:What is the difference between synchronous/asynchronous root registries? |
A:The root registry that maintains com/net/org domains is synchronous meaning that any change you make is reflected instantly. All registrations and management functions occur in real-time and you know immediately if the request went through. The root registry that handles org.uk/co.uk is asynchronous. Any additions or changes are placed in a queue and the confirmation could take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour to come back. New registrations are placed in the Orders in Progress section on the resellers web interface until confirmation is received. Domain changes in progress are indicated by a flag in the top right corner of the manage web interface. No changes are possible until the last change is completed. |

Q:What is "lame delegation" and why is it a bad thing? |
A:"Lame delegation" describes the phenomenon of domains being associated with nameservers which do not actually have a zone file to describe that domain. A zone file defines, for example, which IP the www subdomain points to, which mail server the domain uses, etc. "Lame delegation" usually happens because someone has registered a domain but does not have access to nameservers, so they simply put some valid primary and secondary nameserver in to act as place-holders, even though none of these nameservers has a zone file for the domain in question. This is a bad thing. Firstly, it breaks RFC compliance for BIND, whereby a domain should point to valid nameservers which keep valid zone files. Secondly, lame delegation indirectly uses computing resources without permission. Thirdly, if you type a lamely delegated domain into a browser, the request will not return a useful error message.
