DNS naming convention (Quick Tips)

For years we have done the following naming conventions for our DNS servers.

NS is reserved for authoritative name servers

DNS is reserved for caching servers.

For MTIN we have NS1.MTIN.NET and NS2.MTIN.NET which are authoritative for domains we host. DNS1.MTIN.NET and DNS2.MTIN.NET are for managed DNS customers.
