OT: Nameservers domain registration (IP Address or name)
OK, this one has me wondering....

You go to register a domain, coyoteandroadrunner.com, and you need to put nameservers for the domain. It was my understanding that you could not use FQDNs for the name servers if they existed in the domain you are registering.

So, you couldn't use ns1.coyoteandroadrunner.com or ns2.coyoteandroadrunner.com, but you had to use IP addresses.

Thoughts?

It's not the case. Check out uah.edu. for an example.

$ dig uah.edu. NS +short
uahis1.uah.edu.
uahoffsitens1.uah.edu.

The thing you need is a glue record, on file with your registrar.
