Let's say I own example.com
, that I bought by ExampleRegistrar
.
Let's say that, by default, this registrar uses their own nameservers ns1.exampleregistrar.com
, ns2.exampleregistrar.com
.
Thus, when a client wants to browse to www.example.com
, it probably goes like this:
- root DNS servers looks for
.com
nameserver .com
nameserver looks forexample.com
, it seesns1.exampleregistrar.com
and passes the request to this nameserverns1.exampleregistrar.com
looks forwww.example.com
and finally finds IP203.0.113.5
which it gives to the client.
Question: how does it work if I configure a custom nameserver ns1.othernameserver.com
in the registrar domain's settings?
Does this mean the registry for .com
will directly have ns1.othernameserver.com
in its database?
Is it correct that, then, any request from a client to www.example.com
will never go through any of the registrar's servers?
