How long does it take to change nameservers?
24 to 48 hours
Name server changes usually take 24 to 48 hours to fully start working. This period, called propagation, is the projected length of time it takes for root name servers and cache records across the entire web to be updated with your website’s DNS information.
Can a name server be changed if DNSSEC is active?
If DNSSEC is active, the name servers can not be changed without breaking the DNS zone, which means that you will experience your domain as down. There are exceptions to this for DNS providers that support DNSSEC transfer state, but most providers don’t support this at the moment.
Can you use NSEC to validate DNSSEC domains?
DNSSEC-validating resolvers may make extra queries for DNSKEY records on DNSSEC-activated domains. There are very few of these queries compared to normal traffic for most domains. You can use NSEC for DNSSEC to allow resolvers to answer queries for non-existent domains without querying Cloud DNS name servers.
Are there domain registrars that do not support DNSSEC?
Some domain registrars do not support DNSSEC, or only support DNSSEC for domains served from their own name servers. If there are no instructions for the domain registrar or reseller, check the ICANN list of registrars supporting DNSSEC. Domain registrars may only support DNSSEC for some top-level domains.
When to use DNSSEC recursive or forwarding DNS server?
When a DNSSEC-aware recursive or forwarding DNS server receives a query from a DNS client for a DNSSEC-signed zone, it will request that the authoritative DNS server also send DNSSEC records, and then attempt to validate the DNS response using these records.
