Dear List,
Am confused about what is a TLD name server configuration look like and
I was not success full to find enough documents or maybe i was looking
wrong places, any help. hints or pointing out things will be so
appreciated

am trying to configure a TLD lets say its name is kom
so what i suppose to do is contact IANA and have that registered on
their servers and pointing to the DNS servers am going to use to serve
the kom
here is an ugly configuration i have done on two servers for testing
purposes
They work but i don't feel comfortable with these poor configurations
these were only something to make it work with the minimal efforts for
testing

kom and gov.kom are on the same server
and bassam.gov.kom is on another server
