Chapter 6. Domain Delegation and Registration
The process of delegating a domain is carried out in several steps:
1. Setting up a primary Domain Name Server
2. Configuring a secondary name server for the domain, or requesting the configuration of the name server from your Internet service provider
3. Requesting that the domain be delegated to a higher-level domain
4. If the domain is a second-level domain, registering the domain in an Internet registry domain database
Let us say that, somewhere in the world, there is a magical land that uses the top-level domain tld as its country code. This top-level domain is similar to com, info, cz, fj, ru, de, or other domains used in neighboring fairytale lands. The wise old TLD manager of this land controls the primary name server for the tld domain in this country called ns.manager-tld.tld. The secondary name servers for the tld domain are held by his good friends, the hostmasters of other TLDs that are equally accessible from any place on the globe...
