How to use these DNS caching servers.
The DNS caching servers can be used by anyone who wants to configure its own computer or any other personal internet device to use the Unifiedroot TLD system.
The DNS settings of the computer can be manually set to any of the above IP addresses. If your computer is on an IPv4 network, choose the IPv4 IP adresses. If your computer is on a IPv6 network exclusively, use the IPv6 IP addresses.
In normal situations you can enter two or more DNS servers. We advise to configure at least two IP addresses and you can pick any two IP addresses listed above randomly.
If you manage a local area network with computers that use your own DNS cache servers, we advise you to reconfigure your DNS cache servers by changing the DNS hints file. This is described on http://www.unifiedroot.com/en/Technology/Root-system.
If you can not change the DNS cache servers of your computer , your other option is to use the magnificant Sundial Browser.
Operating a TLD or IDN Registry
New TLDs and IDNs will be added to the Unifiedroot root server system. The owners of these new TLDs and IDNs will hold the responsibility for operating their own “Registry”. This entails operating nameservers for their TLDs and to accommodate the management and assignment of IP addresses and delegating subdomains.
There are various solutions to setting up a registry. This could range from something relatively simple that could be handled in-house, or may require a more sophisticated solution that can be sourced from a qualified service provider. Unifiedroot does not provide registry services, but we are happy to work closely with our applicants to recommend the best solution for them.
System platform
The root system platforms are running on Oracle Solaris. Oracle Solaris is the most used operating system for internet services and has an abundance of management tools and facilities for running a name server system. The operating system’s kernel have been stripped down and optimized for security reasons and to handle high load of traffic.
Name server software
The root is running on name server software BIND. BIND is authoritive name server software developed for TLD name serving. The BIND software is used by some very large TLD name servers for several countries. The BIND software has been modified to remove unnecessary functions for security purposes. Furthermore the software has been optimized to handle frequent updates. The process of root zone updates can be done without stopping the name server service and has been optimized to allow for fast reloads for updates.
