[Cialug] DNS

[Ian S. Walmsley]

With that said, I would not cancel DynDNS until after dotster.com has
taken authoritative control of the domain. Once the domain is secure,
then cancel the service.

I have this situation:
1. My domain is registered through/with dotster.com
2. My DNS services are provided by DynDNS.com ( I used them because 
I once had a dynamic IP, just kept with them)
3. I'm going to cancel DynDNS and move the DNS service provider to 
Dotster. Puts my services I buy in on place, and they are $14.00 
cheaper.
