Primary-Auto Service

To ensure the proper domain functioning it is necessary that not less than two DNS-servers answer the domain-related requests.

DNS-server, where the full primary information about a zone (domain) is stored, is a Primary DNS-server for that zone; other DNS-servers are Secondary, if they get full zone information from a primary DNS-server or another secondary DNS-server.

RU-CENTER offers the Primary-Auto service to its customers. In the process of providing the service RU-CENTER adjusts one of its DNS-servers (ns3.nic.ru) as the primary for the customer's domain name:

Name ns3.nic.ru 
IP address 194.85.61.20
Location Moscow, MSK-IX technological ground at the territory of Russian Scientific Center "Kurchatov Institute" (MSK-IX traffic exchange point is located there as well (Moscow Internet Exchange)).
Connectivity - connection to MSK-IX (100 Mb/sec)
- connection to MAP network (Moscow Access Point - RIPN) (100 Mb/sec)

The receipt of Primary-Auto service provides the operational capability of Web-forwarding and Mail-forwarding services ordered by the Customer in RU-CENTER. All the necessary records are entered into the zone file automatically. The additional records entry at the customer's wish is not stipulated by this service.

Notice: in order to get the opportunity to enter any records into the zone you should use the "Primary-Standard" service.
