Note for backup-dns
Please note in order for our DNS servers to secondary (aka backup dns) your domains you must allow our servers to talk to the Master DNS server. This is done by allowing a process called "zone-transfer" or "zonefile-transfer", and you need to allow the transfer of your zone information to the below DNS Servers.
