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
www. Required for Subdomains
Requiring www. in front of many subdomains is a known but ignored issue. Apparently, nobody at CNS has bothered to fix it.

Resolving this issue must be done individually at each department by addressing the problem to the relevant network liasion.
