OK - I knew about NSI being the 'central repository' as it were for .com
et al.

However, what about this problem:

I host puzzling.org on 203.24.211.109. The reverse lookup is actually
ophelia.weblink.com.au because of course reverse lookups are done by the
nameserver for the whole class C.

If I want to have a nameserver on that machine (and I may), must it be named
ophelia.weblink.com.au and registered with AUNIC, or could I name it
ns.puzzling.org (for example) and register it with NSI?

Mary.
