For added redundancy though, I'm configuring up a couple more secondaries later this week. If you're thinking of using them as a primary, then that is highly unlikely to work I suspect. Our main zone file is dynamically generated from the database on borg and a couple of other sources on a daily basis - it's not something that we can just edit in a web interface periodically. There's also the mirrors.postgresql.org subdomain which is handled by a different primary and is dynamically updated every 15 minutes or so. Even if we left that as-is, do UltraDNS provide a method to delegate the subdomain to a different server? Regards, Dave.
