- Some commercial uucp providers offer to install an MX record and
- register a domain name with NIC as part of their service.
- Their advertising sometimes implies that there is some
- considerable effort involved.
-
- How much effort? What does it take to register a DNS address with NIC?
- What does it take to install an MX record, and where is it installed?
- If I change providers, what does it take to replace the old MX record
- with a new one? Do I have to re-register with NIC also?
- Is there an Internet-RFC which answers these questions?
-
- DNS == domain name service
- NIC == Network Information Center
- MX == ??
