Please, forget most of my last email about this issue (but not the
essence of that):

1.- Tests can be done with DIG against the master DNS server for the tld.
2.- The protocol must exchange only CHANGES in Resource Records
(autenticated and ciphered with key pair)
3.- There is no need to download anything: The secondary registries
dont need to be
slave dns servers for the tld, but if they are so, bind9 will do the
work automatically...

>> Good work, Jeff...
>>
>> Can i ask you which data tables are you using in your model?
>>
>> In the registro.ibu i have three tables:
>>
>> One for users (owners of the domains, with emails and hashed passwords)
>> Another for SLDs (second level domains with owners and creation and
>> expiration dates)
>> Another for THLDs (third level domains or DNS Resource Records with
>> SLDs, RR names, RR types and RR contents)
>>
>> From that i generate the zone file automatically for bind9 each time
>> anybody make a change...
