Sort of :)

It's an old relic from when dotsrc.org/sunsite.dk was only one server 
but in Denmark you have to have two name servers registered to be able 
to host a .dk domain :)

In Denmark you have to pay ~500 danish kr. (~$100 or ~€70) per 
nameserver you want to register glue records for to the danish 
hostmaster. Thus we haven't gotten around to changing this yet.. But 
we'll be there soon.

Well.. It has to be said here that we _do_ have a tertiary name server 
for our own zones which is hosted on an entirely different network with 
full redundancy in different buildings, load balancers and such.. But 
we're not able to push your zone to that server :)

The migration to two proper separate name servers will be done in 
conjunction with a move of our servers to a new IP subnet which will 
start on Nov. 10th. This will however not make both our servers make 
AXFR-requests for xemacs.org since we will do the transfer internally in 
a much smarter way (rsync'ing the data file between the servers).
