[edit] IP Addresses

It can sometimes be useful to have the IP address of nice nameservers. Using VT nameservers can, for example, solve an ISP's meddling in your Firefox address bar/Google I'm feeling lucky magic redirects.

The addresses for VT's nameservers are:

  • 198.82.247.66
  • 198.82.247.98
  • 198.82.247.34


[edit] www. Required for Subdomains

Requiring www. in front of all subdomains is a known but ignored issue. Apparently nobody at CNS has bothered to fix it. Rumor has it that the utility of their 25-year-old maintenance scripts is to blame for this issue and other DNS complications like difficulty maintaining MX records.
