IE ccTLD Removes DNS Checks

November 29, 2018 by Michele Neylon

The .ie ccTLD had finally removed DNS checks from its processes. Up until the change, which came last night, any new registrations, transfers or other updates would be delayed until the DNS delegation had been checked.

What that meant in reality is that if a domain’s delegated nameservers were not 100% compliant with the RFCs then the registration or change would be stalled.

While technical purists might appreciate that domain registries force this kind of compliance with RFCs, in reality the DNS checks caused more headaches for registrars and registrants than anything else.

The change should mean that .ie domain registrations (and updates) get processed a little bit faster, which is, obviously, welcome.

(Disclosure: my company is the largest registrar of .ie domain names )

    Nitpicking:

    I think you wanted to say
    What that meant in reality is that if a domain’s delegated nameservers were not 100% compliant with
    “their interpretation of relevant RFCs”
    then the registration or change would be stalled.

      Well as they’re a ccTLD they view their interpretation as being “the” interpretation 🙂
