NS record

(thing) by cyan Sun Mar 05 2000 at 3:15:58
A DNS record type as per RFC 1035.

NS in this context is short for name server. This basic type of DNS record specifies a name server (or a set of name servers) which will have control over the specified domain.

For example: 

lamer.foo.com. IN NS ns1.lamer.foo.com.
lamer.foo.com. IN NS ns2.lamer.foo.com.

Would specify that "ns1.lamer.foo.com" and "ns2.lamer.foo.com" are to be contacted for any DNS queries under the domain lamer.foo.com.
