Anyone here have any familiarity with setting up DNS for .edu's? It looks like the primary and secondary nameservers need to be .edu to be validated, but I had no intentions of setting up nameservers.

Can I do this virtually? Thanks in advance.

I'll be damned, yes they did. shite, it looks like they just made up some .edu nameservers. Thanks, JGG - that helps a lot, actually.

I just have to contact my host and ask if I can provision NS1.SEXYSLUTBAGS.EDU

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Don't know much about the web. But good luck.

A site I recently built for a school. They are a .com but are an accredited institution on every level, so we filed for .edu paperwork through one of the .edu-licensed registrars and successfully registered the domain.

The DNS UI looks unlike anything I've worked with before (no A, no CNAME, no MX, no SOA, etc.), and their FAQ is confusing, and support non-existent. So I did what any fool would do: I came to TD.com.
