Domain name services

A number of important DNS services are hosted at JINX, CINX & DINX. As well as ZACR, the operator of the CO.ZA, .ORG.ZA, & .NET.ZA second-level domains, INX-ZA provides space to several international service providers who offer DNS services, including, Community DNS, Internet Systems Consortium, Netnod and Packet Clearing House.

Through these partners, INX users have access to a wide variety of domain name services, including:

  • An instance of the Secondary Level Domains (like CO.ZA) operated by ZACR. 
  • An anycast instance of the I-Root server together with ~20 ccTLDs and gTLDs (operated by Netnod)
  • An anycast instance of the F-Root server (operated by ISC)
  • An anycast instance of the E and D-Root servers
  • Instances of about 400 TLDs (operated by PCH), including:
  • .AF, .BS, .BT, .CN, .CX, .CY, .DK, .DM, .FR, .GS, .GY, .HT, .IE, .IN, .IQ, .KE, .KI, .LK, .LS, .LU, .MS, .MT, .MU, .MV, .MZ, .NA, .NO, .NP, .PM, .PR, .PS, .RE, .RS, .SA, .SB, .TF, .TL, .TT, .TW, .UA, .US, .WF, .YT..

Routeviews Collector

JINX also hosts a routeviews collector.  Particiiants are encouraged to provide BGP feeds to RouteViews.

Looking Glass

Two independent looking glass services are available at the JINX.  Historic services, with data from more than a decade ago, is available from Packet Clearing House and a real-time view is available at PCH's looking glass service.  INX-ZA also provides our own looking glass service, available for all three INXes at https://lg.inx.net.za 

AS112 Node

An AS112 node, operated by the INX technical team, is available at each of the INXes.

 

In order to benefit from the domain name services offered by these partners, INX users need to establish peering sessions with each of them. Contact details and more information about their networks is available via the INX-ZA member portal.
