Artur,
many thanks for  your help. I think it's necessary  to explain our procedure.
When we  receive a domain  form (domain  registration template) we  check the
primary nameserver (we use the first  "nameserver:" tag to locate it). How to
find otherwise that server without a nameserver tag?
If the  primary nameserver is  reachable and properly configured  we continue
checking secondary nameservers which should be  listed in the domain form and
as NS records in the primary nameserver.  The above is a useful check because
many times there are discrepancies in what is "declared" and what is actually
configured.
In  addition, if  in the  domain form  there is  our nameserver  listed as  a
secondary, we also check the refresh  time, retry time, expiration period and
default ttl.
Only after a successful check the domain  object is added to database and the
country master server is reloaded with the new information.
Regards,
              Daniele
