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.

• An anycast instance of the F-Root server (operated by ISC)
