VeriSign Implements 'Rapid Updates' for DNS
September 2004
VeriSign has implemented an enhancement, called
"rapid updates," to its .com and .net Domain Name
System (DNS) servers.
Previously, VeriSign updated DNS servers for .com
and .net twice each day by generating a file from
its .com and .net registry database and globally
distributing it to all 13 of the .com and .net DNS
servers.
With the new rapid updates service, it will now be
possible for domain registrants to launch Web
sites more quickly and to experience "greater
continuity" in service when changing hosting
providers or modifying domain name registrations.
Because VeriSign's registry service is used by all
registrars offering .com and .net registration
services, such as Open SRS and even VeriSign's own
registrar service in the form of Network
Solutions, this registry change will likely have a
broad impact on the Internet.
