[Gllug] DNS question

[Adrian McMenamin]

I am trying to get a domain registered with discountdomains to point to
a particular IP, but it seems they will only get it to point at the
subnet and expect me to have DNS running - at least that is my
interpretation.

I logged in and changed the A record for @ to the appropriate IP...

But querying the authoritative DNS seems to show its only pointed to the
subnet - though no longer pointed towards discountdomains so it has
updated the record in some way.

I haven't seen this behaviour elsewhere - is it common? Have I got
something wrong?
