If you are looking for information about registering domain names, maybe you want to read our Domain Registration FAQ.

Authoritative DNS Servers

If you have DNS service for your domain provided by JTAN, the following nameservers will be authoritative for your domain. You can use any of these for domain registration purposes.


    ns.jtan.net        207.106.84.133
    ns.jtan.com        207.106.84.141

    ns0.webtrafix.net  207.106.84.187
    ns1.webtrafix.net  207.106.6.3

All of the above servers have the same information, so you can use whatever combination, in whatever order you want for primary and secondary servers.

Caching DNS Servers

The above authoritative servers do not perform recursive lookups of general internet domain names. They may only be used for serving registered domains as authoritative servers.

If you want a caching server that will do recursive lookups for your machine, you may use one of the following servers only if you are on the JTAN LAN. That means, if you have a dedicated server hosted here, you may use the following servers in your /etc/resolv.conf file. Please pick a nameserver cache that is on your subnet:


  207.106.84.59
  207.106.84.142
  207.106.84.147
  207.106.84.175
  207.106.84.226
  207.106.6.4
  207.106.6.5
  206.135.79.2

If, however, you are outside our network --- for example, if you have DSL or cable and need a nameserver for your PC configuration -- you must use the nameserver provided by your DSL or cable provider. Our caching servers cannot be accessed from your PC.

If you use linex.com dialup modem access, you should configure your PC to accept nameservers automatically through the PPP negotiation process. You should not specify nameservers by number. The automatic process will automatically give you the nearest caching DNS server to you.
