Re: [113attendees] RESTful manipulation of DNS records

[Alexandre Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

Hi, Hans-Joerg,

I am not on-site and not joining the online sessions either - sorry 
about that.

For some reason I kept my subscription to this email list up, even 
though normally an 'attendees' list is only for meeting attendees, 
online or in-person.

I am interested in automated updates of the DNS records, even though the 
subject I am interested into could also be performed manually, by a 
simple one-time 'vi db.something' line command.

The topic I am interested into is, technically, what are the 
possibilities to remove a .country-level domain name, accompanied by a 
smooth migration of its subdomains (subdomain.country-level) to another 
.country-level that is perfectly existing and legitimate. This can be 
necessary in some situation where a .country-level might not exist 
legally but the respective domain name to still be there for some 
unknown historical reason, but can create problems.  Some people 
expressed that it is impossible technically to remove such 
.country-level domain name simply, probably impossible altogether.  The 
domain name in question is .su and the country that does not exist is 
Soviet Union, since approximately 30 years ago now.  There might be 
other similar situations where such .country-level domain name (ccTLD is 
called by some) exist.
