Given a large enough network of distributed nameservers, updating their configs and keeping all of them in sync becomes a highly error-prone activity. The problems multiply when multiple sysadmins and different operating systems are involved. We have created a low-complexity solution for syncing the NS configuration and keeping all servers aware of the current shape of the network.
