I wonder if anything is setup to work reliably?

cache-01.jhb.wbs.co.za. is served by:
ns-01.jhb.wbs.co.za. 196.30.31.200
ns-02.jhb.wbs.co.za. 196.30.31.201

Note that it must be the same LAN segment. COZA recommends (I think they now require) that it be on separate segments.

I get ns-cache-01.jhb.wbs.co.za (196.30.31.193) and
ns-cache-01.cpt.wbs.co.za (196.46.70.1) as nameservers when connecting.
These two can both resolve a domain I registered last night, they are both served by ns-01 & ns-02, as is the proxy, but the proxy still can't get the domain resolved? Somewhere there must be weird update cycles.

Note that although DNS caches are on separate segments, the primaries aren't :confused:

How in the world can they expect (and above all, force) us to ever be fully dependent on their services, referring to the SMTP as well? :mad:

smtp.wbs.co.za is also served by the same ns-01 & ns-02, probably their whole network.
